China head Antique or Reproduction

I adore this China head doll, she is what they call pink tinted due to the soft pink skin tone. Her clothing has the appearance of vintage antique, lots of hand stitching, fading, and made with fabrics no longer available except on the secondary market. Her boots are flat (a tad unusual) and her lovely dress, that may have been pink, is a swiss dot fabric with lovely delicate details. Her hair, I believe, is similar to what is called, "waterfall."

Nonetheless she is a beauty in the world of China Head dolls, and I would love to think she is a true Antique but there are concerns that point to no.

The main concern is her crazing, which is said not to be indicative of the original antique dolls to be made in the late 1800's and early 1900's. China head dolls of this time period were made with such excellent quality in the manufacturing of the porcelain, it would be quite rare to see. But then she does have that little dark spot called, "peppering." (small black specks embedded in the glaze, it is dust that settled on them during the final firing process.)

I love her all the same, she's so perty
