Please help me identify this porcelain doll. This doll has a brooch with the name "BEBE" I can't make up the name on back of her neck. it reads something like Catriona Lovelin? This is doll 72/2000, a very low number and it was made in 1996.

This is a mass-produced doll worth $25 or less. I would not go to great lengths to try and identify it.
Hello, did you post her on a Facebook site recently asking for help to ID her? I know I have seen this gal or one very close very recently in one of my Facebook doll groups.
If so, please post back what you learned. If not, I suggest posting her to get a second opinion.
The group I like the best is called "let's id our dolls". You can join and then post the doll. Do not ask for values--all they do is help ID dolls.
I believe she is a kit doll from a doll class where they made dolls that were to look like the very expensive French dolls from the late 1800s.
Does the signature look real (not printed, but like a black sharpie was used? If so, the signature maybe just a private person who painted and decorated her and what you are seeing is the year and the mold number.
My feeling that this is what you have is two fold...her lips and make up are very much overdone and do not look like what you typically find on a machine made doll.
The BEBE broach always gives people hope they have a super valuable gal. I have seen people trying to sell the brooches as "authentic" (meaning 1800s French pieces) and while they are real broaches, they are also new made in the 1990s like the doll.
She is very sweet. If you are trying to sell her, you can start in the $100 range and then work your way down. Most dolls like this, sadly, sell for under $10 but you never know.
Post back what you learn and what you decide!
