In researching I came across the word "tea-stained" and that pretty well describes it. "Mud-stained" might be another. The inside is the same color as the outside but without the blueish lines and smudges. The inside is not quite as blotchy as the outside and has the types of lines I think of as characteristic of hand thrown.
