I came across this little cutie in my mother's things. She has no idea where/when or why she had this so just trying to get a little info. I cannot find any info online with descriptors.

It looks like Hummel, but Im not sure about the markings, however
Looks like a Hummel knockoff - possibly made in Japan. True Hummels have a bee logo/trademark.
The are very cute. Do they both have the same mark?
She looks German and the boy looks like an Asian piece.
How tall are they?
Are they porcelain (smooth) or bisque (rough)?
Is that a bird coming out of the pie that the girl is holding?
Off the top of my head, the mark shown is not any of the big name marks (Hummel, Dresden, Royal Staffordshire) and it may be that it is not recognizable because some of it has worn off.
Maybe with a little more info, I can help.
Thanks!
She looks shiny so I'm assuming porcelain.
I do not recognize the mark and it is too faded to tell what writing or letters could be under the crown.
It looks like so many of the little figurines that were produced when Hummel figurines were so popular - (but very expensive) but those little cheap ones did not have marks like this.
There are several forums that you could join and maybe someone may recognize the mark.
You will need different pictures or they may not be able to help you. Pictures need to be uncluttered (nothing on table or in the background), pictures of front and back and two or three of the mark at different angles and close up.
Here are some links but there are probably more sites available.

Reddit is a good site for this but can be confusing for new members but just ask for help if you have problems.

There are a few sites that can identify and give you possible region/location of these pieces. There are many on the market like this that are mass produced.
This figurine was made by Porzellanfabrik Leube & Company (Germany, Thuringia). They used this backstamp from 1945 to 1964, so your figurine was made between 1945-1964. www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/
Prices vary: $ 33-175
