These all look like 1980s-1990s porcelain dolls that were designed to be collectible shelf sitters.

The markings may be on the nape of the neck, on the feet, butt or the small of the back. If you found markings in one of these places I could give you much more specific values.

I can tell you that generally, unmarked dolls were often kit dolls, where moms, aunties, grannies and other crafty souls painted and dressed dolls are craft classes.

Also generally and very sadly, with or without markings, the market for dolls is very, very soft at the moment and the values are all over the places...from 99 cents to less than $25.

Most dolls are sitting unsold on eBay, Etsy and other sites for months and months.

Part of the problem is the glut of dolls and the other part is that the USPS changed the shipping prices with dimensional mailing so shipping these dolls in a box big enough to protect them now often costs more than the value of the doll itself.

If these were mine, I would list them at $20 each and take best offer in a local site. Don't be surprised if best offer is under $5.

I so wish I had better news for you! It makes me sad how low the values have gone from when these lovelies were new.

Dolls with no markings are generally not expensive. These are pretty dolls. Enjoy them for what they are.

I do believe I have some of these dolls that were given to my daughter when she was younger. They were to decorate her room with and just to look at. They sat on a shelf in her room and could not be taken down.

I was givens some from Dutch, Hawaii and Sweeden. They are just small shelf dolls that my aunt bought for her in a gift shop when she traveled.
