These are being sold right now on eBay. I purchased a very similar carving from the same seller about two years ago - paid almost $3,000 - turned about not to be jade.
Also, dont believe everything this seller says - they buy a lot from auctions in the US... rarely are their items from estates.
IMO, the underside of the base of the figure does not appear to be nephrite or jadeite.
Also, this seller has a few id's and sometimes I see things that "sell" get relisted on their other id's. Who is really bidding is questionable...
They use the "must surely be period given the quality" or from a "prominent estate of a family with land in Hong Kong" blah blah way too much.
Ultimately - you decide, but do your research and find good comparables.
