I am almost positive it is Chinese (It doesn't look Japanese or Korean), but i am not sure what it means, still working on learning to read.

It looks like seal script, more specifically, like a seal people make to stamp their name on things. I hear that such seals are becoming popular again.

I can't read it though, it's not the standard way of writing nowadays, it's only used for decorative purposes. Maybe someone else can help you further.

It could be "徐子恩", but I could be wrong.

I think Guoke is right and,that is a Chinese male name.

Usually these kinds of stamps traditionally show names- so, you can get a stamp with your full name on it (I have a few at home) and in some places they use them for official things, like a signature (you need a stamp sometimes in Taiwan for official documents etc).

They're quite commonplace and usually quite pretty.

The problem with seal script is that it's been "defunct"* language for a very long time, so it makes it really hard to read, and was replaced by traditional chinese characters at around the warring states/ qin period of Chinese history- reading that page that renzhe showed you will give you MUCH more detail than I can tell you because I'm not an expert. People still wrote in them a little bit for signatures etc though.. so it's a decorative script really. I'm pretty sure it was used to STAMP or put SEALS on bronze.

*Defunct in that you wouldn't learn to read it at school and you would never write anything like a sentence in it.. it's more like a really complicated and unreadable type face in English.. I suppose that's a pretty apt description.
