Need Help With Mark on Lacquer and MOP Box

Does anyone recognize the mark on this box.  I've had this for years and just now rediscovered it.  Thank you!

The left is symbol of 寿 ,means long live。

The right, It looks like they have English letters, but I don’t know the specific meaning. Possiblilties  there were signed by the author, or they were made in Vietnam. Who knows?

Thank you to the lovely poster on FB that let me know this is the mark of  Son Mai Lacquer company in Vietnam.  It is quite possible, however, that this wasn't made for export since there is no Made In anywhere on the box.

"Made in" only works when the mark is intrinsic to the piece.

 

If stamped or engraved, great, but those little stickers peel right off.

 

The English basis of the logo tells me that it's most likely made for export. 

 

We're you thanking @waxu_93 or someone on fb marketplace?
