    The author Oksana Zhnikrup (Оксана Жникруп, 1931–1993) is a significant Ukrainian small-form porcelain sculptor. She worked at several porcelain factories in the Ukrainian SSR: the Baranovka Porcelain Factory (1952–1954), the Kiev Experimental Art Ceramics Factory (1955–1987), where alongside miniature sculptures, she created several form and decor designs for dishes. The subject matter of her miniature works includes lyrical female sculptures dedicated mostly to everyday themes and literary characters. They were produced at several porcelain factories of the Soviet Union, including the Riga Porcelain Factory.

    The author gained worldwide attention when the artist Jeff Koons presented the sculpture "Seated Ballerina" in New York, a copy of Znikrupa's miniature porcelain work "Ballerina Lenochka" (Балерина Леночка / Балерина Леночка на пуфике, 1960s).
