Identifying a Porcelain Doll?

Identifying a Porcelain Doll I have this old porcelain doll and it has no markings. Does anyone know what she is? The only thing on her is a sticker that says made in China. I don't know where the box is that she came in. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

She is a beauty, but without any markers, it is impossible to say with certainty what it is, and it might not be worth it to find out, the fact is, a lot of these so-called 'collector' dolls do not have a lot of value. The market is saturated with them and the demand is just not there. This professional doll site has this to say about it: "Modern porcelain collector dolls sold from about the 1980s to present, were meant to appeal to adult doll collectors, not children. The theory was; buy it, keep it in the box or debox, but keep it unplayed with, after some time passes, you'll be able to sell it for more money than your original purchase and make a profit.

Dolls were easily found in department stores, grocery store toy aisles, card shops, toy stores and on TV from QVC etc. The quantities sold of each collector doll could be large, it's the sheer quantity of all available porcelain collector dolls today, that is determining the current value, as they flood the market place, online and elsewhere..... Sad to say, but these dolls are now available in such large quantities they have little to no value today." dollreference.com/porcelain_collector_dolls.html

You could send a picture to the Antiques Roadshow. The address would be on the PBS.org website.
