AboutNicola Zheng Expertise I can answer questions in English and Chinese, culture, language, and business (conducting business in China) related.
Experience I was born in China and grew up in the US. I've attended Chinese school for 6 years in NY while growing up. I've passed proficiency in the language at the University of Pennsylvania. I work for a company that has an overseas office located in Shanghai, China, so I am very much accustomed to communicating in Chinese as well as conducting business in China (I used to travel there 4 times a year).

Answer Hi Angela,
I believe this is a stamp that indicates the era this was made, roughly translating into "year of emperor Qianlong".
I apologize for not being able to decipher this beyond the literal charaters. For more about the period ruled by this emperor, you may check out the following link.
