I know it's quite a valuable doll. The body might be the wrong one, it should be one of a child. A collector pointed to me that the head has some defaults and it could be a copy. How can I know if this is true ? Can you help ? I had offers of 2500 - 3000 Euros

H Marc, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. The offers of €2,500-3,000 is actually a little high if this were an assembled doll, suggesting to me that this is actually authentic/correct and it does seem to be right, though it's evident that it's been taken apart quite a bit (every time that happens, the joints wear a bit). This model of K&R dolls have been selling between $3,000-6,000 at auction recently, but all of them have more extensive wardrobes. I would be surprised if you got quite that much if you offered it at auction. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage bisque porcelain doll's head with jointed composition body head by Kammer & Reinhardt, Germany, 20th Century pattern #112 with painted features and blond wig, wearing cotton two-piece jumper with edging, length 45 cm (17 3/4 inches long) CONDITION: with some wear at joints, lacking full costume, wig possibly later. PROVENANCE: inherited €2,000-3,000* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
