That looks like Sancai glaze. You might have some luck finding something similar under "Sancai Mud Woman" (or "Lady" instead of "Woman"). I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will come along as well to offer info.

 

Your figures are modern decorative figures, based on terracotta figures recovered from Chinese T'ang Dynasty tombs, such as this one in the Metropolitan Museum:

Here are some modern figures similar to yours:

Thank you so much!

 

Prices for such modern reproductions are all over the map, because people want to believe they are genuine ancient T'ang pieces. Sorry to say that yours are rather poor quality examples. But for comparison you can look at these:

Hello 2many: did you see this thread I posted a couple weeks ago? These are similar in color any thoughts?
