She is a beautiful doll.
There are thousands of different brand/styles/sizes of dolls listed online for sale all the time and it is now estimated that less than 10% of these dolls will sell this year (market research). This does not include true antique dolls.
That just means that even nice condition pretty dolls will have a very low chance of selling at any price. But - we all know that sales are unpredictable so you just have to list it for sale and hope for the best.
eBay sold listings by same designer - Bette Ball.

You can see the prices that people are actually paying for these dolls and maybe decide how much you would like for your doll. There are a lot of sites to list on other than eBay.
Here is a link to past question on this type doll:

Unfortunately most are sitting unsold on eBay as low as a few dollars.
If she was mine, I would run her as a 7 day, Sunday to Sunday auction and start with the least amount I would want for her--maybe 9.99 and let the market dictate final value.
If you have not sold dolls on eBay before, then please be very careful to wrap her in bubble wrap and put her back in her original box if you have it and put that box in another box with a minimum of two inches round that box and bubble wrap or packing peanuts so the box doesn't touch the sides, and then that box in a third box--same deal, at least two inches around and packed so the inside box does not touch the sides. No this is not overkill. Porcelain dolls are very fragile and are very easily damaged.
Be sure to weigh and measure the box carefully and put all of that into eBay advanced seller tool so the buyer can pay the correct shipping amount. Plenty of bubble wrap on the doll and bubble wrap and/or packing peanuts so nothing touches the sides of the box.
If it doesn't sell at 9.99, then I would do a buy it now at $25 and take best offer which could be as low as a few dollars.
Sadly the doll market is terrible. If you can hold on to it for another 10-15 years she may appreciate.
Post back what you decide.
Asking prices range from $9.99 to $50 on eBay. www.ebay.com/
2 years ago the same question was asked on this sight for the same brand of musical doll. It sold for $65 + shipping when the market was a little better. -www.thriftyfun.com/
