Hi Rena,
Please read the part in the frame, towards the bottom of the "Marks" page. This in respect to the mark or period of making with Chinese porcelain. That mark looks more like a 20th century mark for decoration, than a period mark.
I think there are sets of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperor for sale. That is, yours is missing one of the trio.

Dear Peter!
Thanks for information and your opinion.

Years of board of emperor Yongzheng 1368-1398.
Years of board of emperor Kangxi 1424-1425?

You couldn't explain that such «Tongzhi»?

Best regards,
Rena

Hi, I have seen such figurines before, but I don't think they are antique.
The figures are depicting the emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng. Probably made for export or for the tourists?

The proportion of the hats are not right and give the appearance as if the figures could have been made in SE Asia.
On the bottom there is a spurious Tongzhi, only for decoration.
