I bought these pieces at a thrift store and was wondering if anyone has any background on them?phpI1xGNz.jpeg

Might check Ebay

This looks like a hobby set. You see molds for these on ebay a lot. It could be a copy of a Lladro design but I'm not seeing one that matches this exact shape on a quick search for those.

Check out this old thread:

And it looks like it is called a Duncan Ceramic Chess set:

or a Peter Ganine Gothic/Sculpted/Salon Set:

It's not one of those sets either, but they're similar.

Found it. Pretty sure it's the Arnel Gothic set. https://www.etsy.com/listing/209897553/ceramic-bisque-arnel-gothic-32-piece 

Edit: a glance at some of the other molds on that page suggests many are copies of other people's designs so these very well still might be a copy of something else, but anyway it seems those particular molds by Arnel could be for this set.
