I bought her at a antique store, I'm curious as to as much info I can get. I've looked on most china doll info websites, I thinks she's from the 1860s but not sure and just curious if she could be a reproduction.
She is a reproduction flat head china doll made by someone in a ceramic doll class and painted by them . This was popular from 1960's through 1990's when the antique dolls sold high . The person who painted it should have signed on her back . Darn antique shops that misrepresent items as antiques and are not :-( She is not antique doll sorry you were told other wise . One has to study the painting , the porcelain used on china dolls and pick out a fake and other thing mot sure if yours has crazing little lines on it but that is a dead give away as antique china dolls never had crazing of gloss finish . Your the painting is all wrong . Please look at my Flat top china I recently posted and see the difference . Welcome to CW and sorry again she is not what you thought and has very low value :(

Oh wow, that is sad, but glad I didn't pay a great deal for her then. Disappointing though.
Your dolls are stunning!
