I need some help with keywords for this statue set. It comes with the two asian girls, an ashtray, a box, and two candle holders. All are orange with a gold drizzle in the finish. They are all marked California Exclusive and their numbers.
Any idea what these might be called, what I might start them at, etc.? Any info would be great.

If it's the right size, the box is probably a cigarette box. Sometimes the ashtrays actually fit in the box, too.
try searching under cigarette box or cigarette set.
Hopefully, someone else will come along who knows more about your set.

Search in Collectibles/Tobacciana for cigarette sets.

Could they be "Geisha Girls"? I'd probably call them "Oriental Girls", but that may not be politcally correct.

They look Siamese not Japanese or Chinese. Popular set and judging by the color probably 1960's or 1970's. I don't think they did too much in the way of orange in the 1950's. I remember my grandmother having a lamp this color in the 1960's. I like it. It is a smoking (or smoker's) set. I believe the other two trays may be for cigars.
