The maker is called "Master Ceramics", the monster is called Kouryuu. Sunguts made one also but it's not brightly coloured like that.

I think the little pink lipped guy may have been designed by Shelterbank? I could be mistaken but looks like their style

Pretty sure those are shelterbank releases. Shelterbank sells a line of Kreiss inspired ceramic figures by master ceramics so maybe these were sculpted by them. You can also see a Vongo in the background which i believe they made too.
Cool stuff! Max toy also has a version of the mummy guy which is much easier to find.
