Joanne,
All four steins, the last one is either a lidless (if there is a hole indicating it was made for a lid) stein or a mug, are contemporary. West Germany dates them from 1949-1990. They are all relief pottery steins that are often referred to as souvenir types. While they were hand painted, they were mass produced. They are neither valuable nor considered collectible by antique stein collectors. You can get a better idea of their value by checking eBay for the same or similar steins. Because they were designed to be inexpensive, it is doubtful that either a manufacturer or buyer would put a silver lid on them. The lids are no doubt pewter, perhaps highly polished by someone.
The mark on the first two is not clear, but probably is that of Simon Peter Gerz. You can check the mark in the article on marks in the Library section. The third mark you describe is that of Werner Corzelius. Gerz went out of business in 1999, but the trademark and name was purchased by Domex, who then organized another Gerz company with the same name, see http://www.gerz-keramik.com/. The Werner Corzelius site is at http://www.westerwald-keramik.de/industrie_wcorzelius2.htm.
The German text on the first stein is "Tyrolean Life." The German text on the second stein is "Gerstensaft gibt Mannes Kraft," which translates to "Barley juice gives man his strength." The Germman text on the third stein is "A heart full of love, arms full of strength and a stein full of the grape's nectar." The last two translations, as well as others, can be found in 1001 German Beer Stein Translations in the Library section.
