Doesn't look like soapstone - or any other stone - to me. The tiny bubbles and the colour tend to suggest these are resin mouldings.

I did not see a soap stone before, but I did see the resin figurines and they usually lighter in weight mostly ivory color. These looks different and the have a stone like feeling when I scratch a chipped spot possibly some kind of stony mold?

Definitely, thanks to everyone who looked at this post and helped, now I am just waiting for a specialist to identify the mark on the bottom
