Could somebody please translate the mark found on the bottom of this cup and the writing on the wooden box?(not the writing on the side which is already translated)
Thanks for any information you have!

Thank you I.Nagy! This all fits well with the origin of the cup, and with this extra information I can dins out a bit more about him.

Thanks again,
Tom
