The bottom of my ceramic mugs seem to be absorbing water?

I have a set of Pfaltzgraff dishes and the bottom of a couple of the mugs(the ring part that actually touches a surface such as the counter or table) have taken on a disgusting grey color,kind of like they absorbed water or something.Is this because they didn't have enough sealer on them?Is there a way to get rid of this (it's really disgusting looking) and is there a product that I can seal the rest with so it doesn't happen to the rest of them?Thanks in advance!
