Take this into account: The ceramics fired with the ancestral techniques of this community are fired in wood-burning ovens, which can give dark tones to some parts of the cup, as well as generate small cracks that do not affect the functionality of the object. These elements are part of the characteristics of this type of craftsmanship, as well as part of its history and charm.
