    Hi, I am stumped as far as who made this doll and what it is exactly. From what I've looked at, it appears to be a Bisque doll, possibly french-styled? However the cloth is felt and the dress design is simple. The face seems similar to Belton and I was thinking that may be the maker or possibly Kestner but this doll is only about 8-9" tall not 19." If anyone has any clues or ideas please let me know.

      Hi your doll is not an antique she is from 1970s to present . She appears to be a what was sold as a collectible doll . The painting and bisque is not correct to be an antique sorry to tell you but we are honest here and will tell you what we see . She is a nice decorator doll for on a shelf . She is not a kestner nor a belton . Just a marketed doll made to look old fashion . Thank you for sharing her she is cute :-)

      That's amazing. The doll seems so old, it seems so aged. And looks just like one of the antique dolls.

      yes they were meant to . They even can yellow them up a bit . She is not brand new so has a bit of age but just not a true German or french Antique doll . She does not really look like a antique doll if you know the painting and quality of bisque used on them . Although there are some artists that have come close enough to fool people if skilled enough . What are her legs made of ? and a photo of them and close up of face maybe I can ID who made her for you .

      Ok, let me take some photos of her feet and her face up close. But I believe her feet are wooden but I'm not sure. Her hands looked so much like the old ones.

      Ok, I've just added three more photos. A close-up of the face and two of the feet.

      Hi, I accidentally unsubscribed from the e-mail updates. Does anyone know how to turn my e-mail updates back on?

      Your doll is manufactured and I would keep with my first comment . From 1970- to 1990's . She almost appears to be made of hard plastic on close up but most likely a low grade porcelain . She is made to look antique doll and was meant to be a decor piece not a toy .

      Oh I see, thank you very much for your assessment. Do you think she's worth anything, probably not?
    9. Manikin Manikin, 12 years ago
      No real money value but if you like her display her :-)

      Well, as far as the doll decided to copy, they chose a pretty one good I guess. Too bad they tried to sell it as a fake and didn't just sell it as a remake. Maybe I'll just give her away. :)
