Vintage White Glazed Porcelain Geisha Figurine

This item is a slip-cast porcelain figurine depicting a Japanese Geisha in a traditional pose, standing approximately 8 to 10 inches tall. The piece is finished in a uniform, high-gloss white ceramic glaze, characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative mantelpieces. The figure is shown wearing a flowing kimono with draped sleeves and a traditional Japanese hairstyle (shimada-style). She holds a folding fan (sensu) across her chest with both hands. The craftsmanship features soft, rounded modeling typical of mass-produced decorative ceramics from the 1960s or 1970s. While no specific maker's mark is visible from the front orientation, the style is reminiscent of export items produced in Japan or by companies like Lefton or Napco. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible surface dust and shelf grime, particularly in the crevices of the fan and kimono folds. No immediate large structural cracks or major chips are evident in the photograph, though the glaze shows standard reflections consistent with a smooth, vitreous finish. The base is flared to provide stability for the vertical form.
