Question

Where do I find markings to tell how old my doll is and where she was made?

Community Answer

Markings for where the doll was made are often on the head, torso, or feet. You can use these markings to determine the manufactor and origin of your doll. You can use this information and a doll reference website to determine the specific doll you have and how old it is.

Question

How do I avoid breaking it?

Community Answer

Handle it with care by holding it gently but firmly. When you're not holding it, you should put it in a safe place where it can't be reached or touched by someone who may not be as careful with it.

Question

How do I fix a crack on a porcelain doll?

Community Answer

I would recommend taking your doll to a doll repair shop. Porcelain is extremely fragil and difficult to fix if you don't have expertise in the area.
