According to a now defuunct webpage which is still stored in Google's cache here the text of which states:
Quote
Lois Lehner?s Lehner?s Encyclopedia of U.S. Marks On Pottery, Porcelain & Clay (Collector Books, 1988; 634 pages, $19.95) contains the following history: ?Red Cliff Company.  Chicago, Illinois.  1950 to 1980.  This was a decorating and distributing company which decorated beautiful ironstone pieces patterned after old patterns and shapes.  According to Annise Heaivilin?s book, ?Grandma?s Tea Leaf,??Hall China Company made ware in the 1950?s and 1960?s for Fred Clifford, owner of Red Cliff Company.  Clifford purchased original English Tea Leaf to use as an example.  All Red Cliff ware was clearly marked.  There was no attempt at deception.   Only a desire to create more of a beautiful saleable product?.Red Cliff Company had many patterns of old ironstone china?.?  See pages 179 through 181 in Annise Heavilin?s Grandma?s Tea Leaf Ironstone: A History and Study of English and American Potteries (Collector Books, 198; 1996 Values; 232 pages, $19.95) for a more detailed history.

Based on Internet sales, there are at least three different Red Cliff dinnerware patterns ? Grape, Heirloom, and Tea Leaf.
