      Hi Song :-) Your doll is a reproduction of what was called a "Spill Curl China Doll" 1880's-1890's. They would take molds of real antique dolls and ceramic shops would make molds of the head and then sell blanks for a person to buy and paint themselves and you could also buy the china limbs and make a cloth body . She is homemade by a lady in a doll class or ceramic studio. Many women did this becaus eof price of antique one was to expensive and also they wanted to have a craft and make something . She should be signed on back of neck by person who did it as they are required to sign them . This spill curl mmold often had a painted head band in hair also .
