I have this gorgeous doll that I managed to get from a charity shop, but I have no clue what she could potentially be worth. I have tried looking things up about her, but cannot find anything out about her anywhere. I have tried looking up the barcode, none the less I still find nothing. She came with no name, but came with the certificate of authentication. Any help would be great!
Most of the porcelain dolls from the 1980s-today are almost impossible to find info on because the sellers (mostly flippers) have no clue about the dolls and when they try to sell them they list them as 14 inch porcelain doll or sometimes just porcelain doll or doll in a green dress, so trying to value by finding the exact one and its exact value will be a challenge.
Leonardo Collection dolls, in general, were on the low end of the collector market and original costs when new and are still on the low end of resale values today. Most sit unsold at $10 or less on eBay. Part of this problem is the shipping costs are through the roof and no one wants to pay $30 to ship a doll that they could buy for a few dollars at a thrift store.
I have not seen one of the 14 inch gals sell in a while so I am guessing if it was listed at less than $10 it may sell, but again, generally most all brands of dolls (unless a very rare French or German bisque doll all original and pristine) are very slow sellers and sell for very little money.
Hold on to her for a few years and she may appreciate it in value--everything comes around and I am hoping these (what everyone calls mass produced dolls) will too!
This is the Leonardo Collection 14" School Girl Porcelain Doll In Dark Green Uniform. As I understand it, this doll has a hat. I found dolls from the same collection, in the same box.
Leonardo dolls are lovely dolls but doll value in general is very low and has been for several years. From all available information, this low value will continue as more dolls are listed for sale everyday.
Leonardo made several collections and then made series within that collection. Your young lady is wearing a basic green uniform but I do not know how many different dolls were in this series.
I hope you like her and intend to display her in a nice spot where she can be enjoyed by everyone.
You can always find the value of similar dolls on eBay's sold listing site: It appears that Leonardo dolls are more popular in the UK than the US but still very low value:

I have a Leonardo Diane doll approximately 30/40 inches in size. I have no idea if it's old or new and would like to know how to find out if it is of any value.

I have a porcelain doll. It's from the Leonardo collection. It is a boy dressed in soft fabrics and delicate lace. His name is Robert. Everything is in good condition.

You should research eBay, Craigslist, and Google for information.
We recently came across a Leonardo Collection doll, and bought it. Yet from the images online, she is very interesting and unusual compared to most of the other Leonardo porcelain dolls. We managed to find one on eBay which was in rather bad condition compared to ours. She has ginger curled hair, with a petit, realistic look on her face, with green blue eyes, she contains a green and white pearl necklace, she wears a mainly green dress, with leaves and flowers on it, then the tutu bottom to the dress has strokes of other colours, such as pink, blue and yellow, to finish off she wear solid green garment, then sandals at her feet.

These dolls are mass produced and rarely sell for very much - usually much less than the cost when new. Also, dolls are usually very hard to sell as shipping is expensive and a lot of trouble due to being very easily broken.
Sellers sometimes list similar dolls for months and months and may never sell one. You can try Google, Amazon, Craigslist (best place for dolls as no shipping cost) and retry eBay for even similar dolls. These dolls are best bought just for yourself and not for resale.
How much would a 55cm tall baby porcelain doll be worth? The doll is 55cm high by 25cm shoulder to shoulder. The doll has brown eyes, in a blue outfit and comes with a teddy bear and a blanket. The certificate of authenticity is still with the doll and the doll is in an immaculate condition. The box which the doll is kept in has a few marks but just general after being stored for a while. Any help on this item would be appreciated.

What is the value of Lp1466? Her name is Heather. There is a crown with swords on top of the box. The doll and box are in excellent condition. She is dressed like she is from Ireland or the UK. Just looking at the way; her hair is red. I want to know the value of this doll.

When I was born my great nan brought me a porcelain doll, but I wasn't allowed to have it till I was older. I'm not interested in selling her, but I would like to know how much she is worth.

These dolls are beautiful and all but they are mass produced. The price people are selling them on eBay for are $10 to $20 only. Most of them are not sold and the listing is cancelled.
These are mass-produced and worth less than what you paid. You could get $25 max.
I have recently come into approximately 20 Leonardo dolls some of which are duplicates. I have no idea how old they are or what they are worth.

If you search on eBay you will find so many of these dolls being sold. They are dolls that are mass produced and don't bring much of a resale value at all. Most of the dolls are selling for 2 or 3 dollars each.
These are mass-produced dolls worth less than $25 each
