porcelain doll

Glazed toy figure

A porcelain doll is a doll with head and limbs made of glazed ceramic, often elaborately dressed and collected as decorative objects rather than playthings.

Figuratively, someone who looks like a porcelain doll has delicate, perfect features—pale skin, large eyes, an almost artificial prettiness: She had that porcelain doll complexion.

The image can suggest fragility or lifelessness.
