Can anyone help identify these pictures

Can anyone help identify these pictures and have any idea of the value?
They were made in a kiln in South Carolina, but have what I think is a signature in Chinese?
Maybe they are reproductions of older pictures.
I went ahead and listed them, so that the pictures are easier to see.

It is the artists initial in Chinese. The pictures are also Chinese but I could not find any reference to that studio or any other info on the artist.

The art looks similar to what is produced in Guilin province in China.
Guilin is known for its art and artists ie the Wa Yao Market.

Sorry but that is all I could find.

This is the paper sticker on the back and the artist’s mark on each of the three tiles.
I could not find any information on this kiln online.
Thank you!

update =====
Thanks TobysArtandBooks for verifying that the scenes are Chinese.
I thought they were from the type of clothing. I spent a lot of time
looking for information on the soapstone statuette which I have listed.
I was able to determine that she is Chinese.
Both of these are part of my late husband’s collection. He had spent time
in Thailand in the 1960’s and 1970’s and he was fond of Asian art.
Unfortunately, I am ignorant in that area.

PlushHotel…Thanks for looking up the phone number. I didn’t think of that!

I spent a pleasant afternoon looking at all of their work, but did not find anything similar to this.

Of course, these tiles had to have been in the mid 1960’s or earlier.
I was hoping to find out what the “modern adaptaton of an ancient art form” means.
And if they are reproductions of “ancient” pictures.
