Identifying a Porcelain Doll?

Identifying a Porcelain Doll - dark skinned doll wearing a lacy dress and hatI've been trying to identify this doll for a while now with no luck. There seems to be a mark on the back of her head that looks as if it says "HOH". I live in Britain if that helps. I have no clue of where it came from before as it was bought from a charity shop. I would appreciate if anyone was able to identify or help in the process of identifying.

I have checked the site for known doll designers for the markings on the back of the doll's head and this is not a known marking for a famous doll maker. That makes it even harder to identify this doll considering I can't find anything about this mark on the doll. I did find one doll maker who identified his dolls by the letter H. His name is Halopeau. Normally his dolls are marked with a 0.H all the way to a 4.H on the head. This was his H doll series. I do not see this on your doll. In cases like this it makes it even harder to find out who made this doll.

She is really pretty and looks manufactured vs. mommy made.

Can you please post a very clear photo of the marking?

Can you tell me how tall she is?

Is the body soft (stuffed)? And if so, can you tell what she is stuffed with (like cotton or sawdust or beans)?

Is the hair real or synthetic?

Hopefully with more info and a clear photo, I can help you solve your mystery.

Thanks!! Looking forward to learning more.

I found this doll too at a car boot in Norfolk.
And has the same marking on her neck, sad bc I literally cant find anything on her :/ I found an eBay seller and she (the doll) had a tag on her that said Leonard Collectors Nicky. But I doubt thats her actual tag as I search it Nothing comes up.

When I got mine tho she came with a small tag that reads Molly
I dont think its an official tag or if previous owner put it there but thought Id say anyway incase. As I too am sad I cant find anything on her. Hopefully someone will find something:) I doubt this was helpful but thats me anyway.
