Subject:Please help me identify my antique Asian doll
Posted By: Anna Mon, Feb 01, 2016 IP: 118.208.53.121

My doll is an oriental, cloth doll from China or Nepal. I inherited her from my great Uncle who was well travelled. She is in very good condition.
Unfortunately that's all I know about her so far. No markings, stamps or dates of any kind.

Thank-you for your help!

This is a quintessential Chinese peasant girl doll, probably in circa mid-century or somewhat later dress. While I couldn't spot a doll exactly like yours in a quick check on the internet, here are a couple of auction results from liveauctioneers.com for starters. You can check the same site and eBay for dolls of your same composition, size and dress to get an idea of value.
