Gilded resin figurines depicting the Three Star Gods (Fu Lu Shou)

This set features three small, seated figurines rendered in a monochromatic yellow-gold finish, traditionally depicting the Chinese San Xing or Three Star Gods representing fortune, prosperity, and longevity (Fu, Lu, and Shou). The figures are arranged on a dark reddish-brown wooden or finished base. The figure on the left appears to represent Shou, characterized by a high domed forehead and carrying a peach or child; the central figure represents Lu, holding a traditional gold ingot; and the figure on the right represents Fu, holding a scroll or staff with a pouch. The material appears to be a lightweight synthetic resin or molded composite with a bright gold-colored metallic spray coating or paint layer, showing some subtle burnished highlights and slight wear or discoloration in the recesses. No maker's marks, signatures, or stamps are clearly visible from this angle, and the overall construction suggests mass-produced decorative items rather than hand-carved jade, ivory, or cast bronze artifacts. The style is consistent with modern decorative items manufactured for cultural export or home display, displaying simplified facial features and traditional robes with molded textural patterns. The identification is based purely on the iconographic depiction of the three traditional figures and their characteristic attributes. The items are unauthenticated and remain modern decorative objects of unknown precise origin or age.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this set features three small, seated figurines rendered in a monochromatic yellow-gold finish depicting the traditional Three Star Gods (Fu Lu Shou) arranged on a dark reddish-brown base. I can't verify from a photo the exact composition of the material, though the lightweight appearance, bright gold-colored metallic spray coating, and slight wear in the recesses suggest a synthetic resin or molded composite rather than hand-carved jade, ivory, or cast bronze. I would need physical inspection to confirm the material and precise manufacturing methods. Assuming the current working hypothesis that these are modern decorative resin items manufactured for cultural export, they typically trade in the retail and secondary decorative market within a modest range. The basis for my value estimate of $40-$75 reflects general market demand for similar mass-produced cultural decor items. Because this attribution remains unauthenticated, the stated value is conditional; if physical inspection reveals these to be high-end replicas or purely decorative pieces 'in the style of' traditional art rather than specialized collectibles, the value would remain at the lower end of this range or slightly below. To establish a more precise valuation or explore potential provenance, physical examination by an expert appraiser, hallmark verification, and material testing would be necessary.
