Kashhkashh she is a modern porcelain doll . Many many companies were producing these antique looking dolls in 1980s-90s. They were sold on home shopping channels ,magazines and doll shows ect. Because there were so many makers it would be hard to know if she is not marked behind neck unless a person had one in the box . The market is flooded with these porcelain dolls that were bought mostly buy older women in hopes they would increase in price. Well antique doll prices fell and made many affordable and these dolls were no longer produced and market for them is very low . They make nice decor dolls however. She is dressed nicely and some people buy these dolls for their clothes or wigs and discard doll . There are some collectors for them but don't expect to get a lot :-)
I am one of those who buy them for the wigs, shoes and clothes...
They sell for little money at markets and thrift shops., and the clothes etc. are actually lovely and worth much more than the $5-7 the dolls sell for.
The only modern porcelain dolls that have some value are possibly the Hillview Lane porcelain dolls, or artist-made dolls (often reproductions of antique dolls).
The porcelain dolls that were mass-produced in the '80s and '90s are actually nice if you just look at them for what they are, nothing wrong with them, but they were mass-produced in China or Taiwan, that's why their value is low.
I agree. They are nice in themselves. just not valuable in terms of money.
