Identifying a Porcelain Doll?

Identifying a Porcelain Doll - doll wearing a long dark red dress with hat and black lace veilCan anyone help me find some information on this doll. I have had her for about 20 years and she was purchased from an antique shop. She does not have any markings that I can find.

Undress the doll. You may find markings. If not, it is most likely not that expensive

So many people have dolls that have been in their family/homes for many years but no one ever saved any information on names etc. which makes it difficult for even doll collectors/experts on dolls to identify them.

Dolls were in vogue about 20 years ago and companies were mass producing dolls (5,000 and more of each design) and selling them as 'collectibles' to people who mistakenly believed they would increase in value over time and sadly, the opposite has happened.

Sometimes doll collectors on doll forums can help with identifying dolls, or at least provide some sort of information.
If you wish to ask your question on the following site, you will need several good pictures (this one is not very clear) of the full doll as well as legs and shoes and closeup of the face. You will need to provide the doll's height and any information you can provide on where she came from.

This site is very easy to use and has instructions on how to upload your pictures.

Did you ever learn your doll's name?

She has a Spanish look to her. It feels like she is emulating a theme that was popular with Madame Alexandria dolls.

She does not look like an antique doll, so I am guessing that the antique store was selling the collectible dolls of the day.

There is a nice Facebook group I belong to that is really good at identifying dolls. It is called:

Let's ID Our Dolls

You have to ask to join. You cannot ask about values, but they help name the dolls. I can help you value her once you know her name!

Thanks for sharing!
