@BoomingBones: Thank you very much for your comment. The last one could be: 生 Sheng?. And the whole sentence: 塘盧老人生: Táng lú lǎo rénshēng. Tang Lu Lao Sheng. Thnks

The last character is most definitely not 生 (http://www.sfds.cn/751F/) 'to live; give birth to; raw' but rather 乍=作 (http://www.sfds.cn/4F5C/4/) 'to make — made by'

The seal, a longitudinal one in green Jade, represents a roaring imperial lion with the mouth towards the sky. On the frontal part has one column of chinese characters. It seems to be from the Empress Wu Zetian (690-705).

I did my research, and find out: 些度產唐, Xiē dù chǎn táng, "Tang Dynasty".

Many Thanks in advance.
