Subject:Seated geisha girl is awesome. Anyone know any info?

The workmanship and finite detail in this piece is hard to clearly pictured. But I am in awe of the artist. The only mark is a Z on the base. I believe it not very old. Can someone let me know of similar pieces that could be by the same artist?

Not a "geisha" (Japanese courtesan) but a Chinese "beauty" (Meiren) of a recent type produced in the late 20th century and subsequently. Attractively well made, such ceramic figurines have been widely sold and collected. Here's a live auction listing where four of them sold for $150.

Best Regards,
