Identifying a Porcelain Doll?

Identifying a Porcelain Doll -  blond doll with a blue dressShe's a 12" porcelain baby with numbers on her neck, but I can't find any info about her. She doesn't look super old and I'm not trying to sell it. I'm hoping to find the name for my granddaughter because she and this doll look so much alike.

My guess is that it is inexpensive since it doesn't have a manufacturer's mark. It is probably #740 of a lot, which means it is mass-produced. Enjoy it for what it is.

Well-- she sure is a lovely doll so your granddaughter must be very pretty if she resembles this doll.

  • The number does not tell us very much and may have been added at a later date.

  • Dolls without brand names or markings are really difficult to research and generally takes someone with a lot of knowledge about dolls in general to identify them.
  • Since information is what you are trying to obtain you might be lucky and find someone on this site who can identify her.

  • Sometimes you can ask for a free appraisal and someone will be able to help you.

  • Just ask for information and submit photos and you may find out her name and age.
  • When it comes to things like this - money value is unimportant.

Some dolls simply cannot be identified. The sorts of 'collector' dolls that clever marketers churned out in 'doll mills' that are now saturating the market simply cannot be identified. Here, from this site: "Especially difficult to identify are unmarked dolls of any kind, tourist dolls, and less-expensive supermarket line and drug store dolls. Also difficult to identify are many dolls made in Asia (often sold through magazine ads, gift shops, or general retailers) during the last 30 years." www.thespruce.com/identify-your-doll-773879

Just look for as many descriptors as possible here www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi
blonde
blue eyes
narrow face
blue dress
740 P
materials (face, body, etc)

and just scroll through them all till you find the image that most resembles the doll

I believe she is a Paradise porcelain doll from the Treasury collection. Her name is Victoria. She set in a wicker chair holding a basket of flowers. I have this same doll
