Dear Cherry
Thanks for your great query.
I am not 100% sure, but I think this looks typical of small decorators studios in Bavaria, Germany operating in the second half of the 20th Century (i.e. quite recent). They were jumping on the 'Dresden' tourist / export type bandwagon.
You can read the article I wrote on the subject of these small decorator studios in Bavaria here:-
Karl-Heinz Klette of Küps, Bavaria, Germany associated with Franz Sieber in Rudolstadt.
To my eye the sculptural values are very poor compared with the older Germanic Meissen and Dresden type studios (which were unbelievably finely sculpted in a style almost impossible to recreate now). Your figures seem to have the appearence of just being 'knocked out'. They are ok, but nothing special..... it looks like a case of "another dollar, another day".
Compare the lack of movement in the man pulling the horse (where there is supposed to be some human dynamics going on) with the incredible dynamics you can see in this sculpture here
