Identifying an Antique Porcelain Doll - closeup of an antique porcelain doll wearing a long dressI am trying to identify this doll. It was my grandmother's doll as a child, maybe late 1800s early 1900s.

What a great find!! Is she a full doll...meaning does she have legs and a body? If she does not, I am thinking she is what is called (I think this is official--I am still learning about the really old dolls) a half doll and they were used in the late 1920s and early 1930s as lamp shades (I would think this would be a fire hazard, but I guess it was popular, none the less).

If she is a full doll or a half doll, I would take her to a reputable antique dealer and have her checked out.

Doll prices for a true antique (100 years old--which if she is a lamp doll she is not quite 100) or a vintage doll are all over the place and their are so many factors that only someone who can see, touch, and smell her can help you price.

I think she is very lovely and would love to hear what you learn about her!! You could have a nice tidy sum in your hands if she is in good shape.

Thanks for sharing her!

Undress the doll to find markings. Look on the back, back of neck, chest, and bottom of feet.
