Hi Williamh, the faces do not look like this on traditional Chinese, notice the lips, eyes and wrinkles are to defined for Chinese Antique Porcelain, this is fairly modern.

This is only a few decades old, despite its Qianlong mark.
I would recommend to abandon this mark based way of identification/dating of porcelain. If you visit the main site under "Marks" you will find the reason why it is almost useless for dating.
