Can anyone identify these figurine lamps? I can't find any identification marks. The figurines are about 16" tall, on a brass base. They have nice details and have no damage. My parents bought them 50 years ago from an antique shop in Florida. Who made them? Any guess on age? Any value beyond intrinsic value? Any help would be appreciated.

The left one is the god of longevity (shoulao), the right might be He Daogu, one of the eight immortals; if what she holds is a lotus then she is.
20th century, probably second or third quarter. This is a very common subject and has no antique or other collecting value as yet. There are too many of these.

Thank you for the information. They may not have a lot of value, but their detail is above average. I think we'll keep them.
