Can anyone ID this Korean marking?

Just picked up my first bonsai pot, can anyone give me more info on the artist or the marking? Thanks!

Tongrae, by Mikwang manufacturing. Good quality, inexpensive pots, but think they’re out of production now.

Good call Brian. The last word is Bun (pronounced boon) as in Bun Jae (Korean for bonsai- same Chinese characters as Bonsai and Pen Jing). The Bun means pot, so the complete insignia means Tongrae Pots.

Side note: I met my wife in Korea, and I speak the lingo somewhat
