    It is a Chinese carving of the three auspicious Star Gods: Fu, Lu and Shou.

    Very unlikely. But the piece is backlit, which makes it difficult to discern much detail.
    Can you take a photo with better light, so we can get a better view of the figures?
    We don't give values here, because they depend on where you are etc.

    In that case I say: If you really like them and you can get them for a bargain price, go ahead and buy them.
    But if you want to buy them as an investment, don't buy them. Wait for quality jade figurines.

    Only buy them if you like them very much.
    They are not valuable.
