Hi any Ideas what this would be off?
Or age?
Would it be a personal seal mark?

Sorry  forgot to mention that the picture is the front and back of seal.

Hi have included a mirror image so hopefully can be read.

Thought this might be a chess piece, but the character does not fit.
The blue and white could be a family name: Fang, while the other may be a personal name.
The carved part is a stamp added to something.
Looks like Qing dynasty to me.

Indeed it looks the same. One learns all the time with Chinese ceramics!
I will have to look into this. As the writing is in Chinese it is to be assumed that this was mainly used by local Chinese; but if made in China, there could be the possibility that these were used in other places too?
