Yes maybe Guangxu, although a six character Qialong mark is a bit unusual for that.

Hi Calder and Peter, Calder did you look at the vase I posted, it is an older vase that has been enhanced, I believe the mark and some of the decoration if not all has  been added, at a local auction I purchased 4 vases, I did not pay much for them because I suspected such, but I noticed on all 4 vases the decoration is similar and three vases are marked like yours and one has a Zhuanshu script Qianlong mark, I have not seen anything like the faces yet epe. the eyes on mine out lined in dark black and the hair, I think these marks might have been added at a later time to enhance the value, but still very nice decorative pieces, the vase I posted I was offered $2500.00 for it, but I did not sell it because I like it myself.

Hi Stan,
The vase decoration is well done their faces look PROC to my untrained eye.
Could you post pictures of the other vases ?
For comparison.
