I picked up the lot of 4 for only $10.00 each. ..all mugs had white earrings, but it was cold painted on after the last firing of the mug...over time it gets easily scratched off. sometimes folks will remove the white entirely if it appears that most of it has worn away anyway to make them look nicer.
