What does this mean?

Dear Melissa,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The presented object appears to be a doll depicting a Chinese child with a traditional costume. The doll has a porcelain head, hands, and feet and is not hallmarked. It was probably made in the middle of the first half of the 20th century probably the 1920s or 1930s. Exact identification is without the hallmark not possible.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided. In the area of the chin is damage visible.
A fair market estimation would be between 80 to 200 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
Georg
