Ohhh not my field at all Keith (or yours, obviously!) but there's a lot of info linked from here which might help: http://collectdolls.about.com/od/papiermachedolls/Papier_Mache_Dolls.htm and a basic intro to papier mache dolls here: http://collectdolls.about.com/od/dollprofiles/p/papermache.htm - hope this helps.

Looks Chinese or Japanese.....I would have never thought it was Paper mache, since it looked like it had a *shine* like plastic on the face.

Live and learn...

Have found one similar on a doll collectors site and it was mid 20th century from China, 'made in China' should be on the foot but it had worn away, Keith.
