Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It is a cute doll. Such babydolls are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
The doll was made in the late 1900s or early 2000s. It is a lovely doll that has been made in the style of old fashioned baby dolls. The expression is very sweet.
Mass produced porcelain dolls like this rarely have value beyond their purchase price even when kept in excellent shape.
The value of your doll is determined by the company that made it and how many dolls were made from each lot. Normally these companies produce dolls in lots of 1000 and upwards.
The market value for such dolls has declined in the past few years.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online toys auction, where I believe the doll has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the doll. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.
Thank you
I am quite convinced that the doll has lost a leg over time.
Kind regards
Thank You for your reply.
I have a question concerning the missing right leg, was in made that way or was it lost over time maybe ?
Thank you in advance.
