Help with age of this pitcher and mugs and glaze technique?

Hello,

 

Can anyone help me with the approximate age of this pitcher? Also how would I describe the glaze technique?

The pitcher is about 8" tall.

These are part of a beer set that had 6 steins, also advertised for lemonade and ice tea, by Cliftwood Art Potteries, Inc., Morton, IL. I found them in the book: Morton Potteries 99 Years Vol. 2, p. 98. There's no date, but it says it was an early item by the Rapp family of potters, who were German and started Cliftwood in the 1920s.

I think it would be called a blended glaze.

 

Based on how the glaze drips into the inside of the pitcher, and the look of the bottom, I would say these are fairely recent, in the last 10 years or newer. JMHO Smiley Happy
