It indeed looks like some kind of raised material. I would be surprised if that were corrosion because there's little sign elsewhere. More likely it's some kind of dirt or glue. I'd try soaking in acetone overnight--it won't hurt the silver. There might be other good opinions, but that looks like a safe bet--good luck!
