      Hi she is a reproduction from a old Bru mold . The name which I can't read should be made by person that made her in a Ceramic class or doll making class. Often the old molds are used to and a person buys a blank and paints it and studio will fire it and you buy pre made body as well as wigs, eyes ect from them . The 5 is the size of the body they used . Bru dolls are often reproduced as they were one of the finest doll makers of 1800-1900 in France . So you have a homemade doll which makes for a nice display piece .

      The craze to make these dolls was from 1980-90's although some were made earlier in 70's .
