Can't read the pottery mark - though lower character might be 火, fire. The wax seal just means that it was sold through an antiques store in mainland China during the later 20C. These seals were meant to guarantee that the piece was antique, but they didn't. That is not saying that your piece isn't an antique, just that the wax seal is not what you need to look at.
