I picked this bronze vessel pot up last week because I really liked the form and patina on it. I do not believe it is any older then maybe 50 years by the way it's constructed. It measures 5" tall x 6.5" wide. It has two ringed handle applied by soldering on two sides. It has a stamped pictorial mark that looks like a weak stamping, so it looks to only reveals half of the makers mark? It also says Made in Korea. It's pretty well constructed and not a cheaply made piece of metal art work imo. I gave a little more then 9 bucks for it.

I wonder if the letters are from Korean Alphabet.

Maybe it is a stylized monogram makers mark? I haven't been able to find any metalware item's from Korea that look quite like this one does. Often things for sale or sold on eBay have been a good source of info, but not so far this time. Well I can say with a high level of certainty it is from Korea. Sure be nice to know who made it?
