Harley-babes-hoard;

 

Your first piece is a delightful bit of very early 20th C  Japanese kitsch (may even be late 19th C, I'm not sure) . The monkey trying to escape the pursuing crabs relates to an old Japanese folk tale.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crab_and_the_Monkey

 

Made for the export market, I think it's great and is easily your most valuable piece. Are there any marks on the base?

 

The vase showing the warrior is marked Kutani and is far more recent. 

 

The Goebels figurine is just awful. But that's only my opinion 😉

 

 

The James Kent vase is made in imitation or in reference to Satsuma ware.

addit; sorry, I didn't read properly. No marks but a pair of them. A pair is worth more than double the price of a single item. I've no idea what they would bring on ebay. How tall are they?
