I have the set still wrapped in original boxes with authenticity certificate. Wondering the value of her.

Judy is correct as this is a mass produced doll - information states 100 firing days - this just means they will produce as many dolls as demand and supply produces - could be 2,000 or 5,000.
New in box does not always mean very much as most of the dolls listed for sale will be shown as NIB - never opened.

-She has a lovely hand-painted bisque porcelain face with life-like eyelashes.
There are several of this same set listed for sale on eBay/online. The asking prices are low to high and most are new.
When searching for value you have to ignore asking prices and try to find an identical item that has sold as a sold price represents what someone was willing to pay.
I did find one used set that sold recently for $49.99 plus shipping but I do not believe this is a realistic value as similar dolls are selling for much money. However, it does show that someone paid this amount.

In another area I found a NIB set like yours that has been listed on eBay for $29.95 plus shipping for almost 3 years and has never sold.
Dolls are very slow sellers but occasionally one will sell quickly as there is no way to predict when a sale will happen.
It is always a good idea to start a sale with a higher price - $65? - and consider offers as you can always lower the price if you do not receive any offers.
You have Paradise Galleries "Endearing Moments" from the Treasury Collection Tender Moments, Savannah and Sara Doll Set. This collection is the work of artist Patricia Rose and bears artist signature of approval. I think your set was made in 1998 www.pinterest.com/
The set includes mother (Savannah) and daughter (Sara) Fine porcelain dolls, baby carriage. The dolls are handmade.
Mother measures approximately 19 "and baby measures approximately 7".
Here is on sale the same set (new condition) www.ebay.com/
Here the price is $30.99 so far only with starting bit $20.99 www.ebay.com/
Here the same set is on sale without original box www.ebay.com/
You can try to sell your set at an auction or start with a high price, and then lower the price, for example, here the seller reduced the price from $89.95 to $29.95, but his large doll does not have one finger, some of the paint has faded, the set does not have the original box www.ebay.com/
These are mass-produced dolls which were manufactured as investments. They are worth at best $25, far less than the original buyer paid for them.
