Need info, Beautiful Asian Female Figurine, Flower Basket, Marked

I do not know anything about this delicate figurine other than she is beautiful and has a sense of peace about her. I found her at a Good Will. This figurine is finished with vibrant colors, a high glaze, and is signed. All floral decoration on the clothing are in raised relief. I would appreciate any information, the maker, country of origin, date created, symbolism, type of clothing, especially a translation of the markings found on her inside-underside and if she has any value considering the damage. Thank you for your help.

This Asian woman wears a long blue tunic with small slits on either side at the bottom and is decorated with red flowers (lotus?). The tunic has green caped sleeves with red trim, a dark blue laying collar and bottom trim, a raised collar in yellow-orange with red trim, wide peach band trimmed in red raising over her breast area all decorated with the same flowers as the base of the tunic. The tunic is worn over a long white thin pleated skirt decorated with berries (?) and leaves.
The blouse sleeves are peach with the repeated pattern of red flowers and green leaves. She has a bracelet on each wrist, and appears to be wearing cloth (silk) red shoes.
She holds two open flowers and one flower bud in her left hand (magnolia blossom?)
In her right she is carrying a woven basket(?) of flowers (a single White Calla Lilly protrudes from the top). This woman's nails are long and painted in a coral-red to match the color of her graceful, smiling lips..
Her hair is pulled taunt to cover the majority of her ears (small pink ball earrings on her ear lobes) and is braided in the back hanging down past her waist. It is tied at the bottom with a rose toned bow, and two flowers (Lotus?) adorn both sides of her head. She is arranged so that her face is turned toward her her right, and her left foot is stepping forward,

The four fingers on her right hand have been broken off at the bottom knuckle. The two fingers farthest from the thumb have been broken off on her left hand (the pinky at the lower knuckle and the ring finger at the second joint). A small corner of the right-back bottom of the tunic is missing and there is also damage along the bottom front right. Lower burgundy flower in basket has some minor damage. I was so mesmerized by this figurines appearance that I did not notice this damage immediately.
