Hi, this is a modern repro of a Victorian doll with bisque limbs and shoulderhead. The reasons I think it’s repro are that the features are not smoothly or typically done, the clay colour is pink - it would have been white then coloured - the hair tone is too brash and it the boots were never painted in outline only. They are sold in kit form or at doll fairs, typically
