Mum has a habit of cleaning mugs with a scouring pad. Once scoured, ceramics and melamine always retain that "just used yesterday and not washed yet" look. It's part of the same mindset that advocates scraping off a nonstick griddle with a knife and complaining that it just isn't non stick...and after a while it isn't....
Sorry. it's one of those habits that Mum has stuck to throughout her life and the life of every nice damned non stick pan I've ever bought.
Oh, and our teapot is a dark brown traditional Sadler of a type no longer made.
