Went thrifting today, and found a celdon-ish tea set for $2.50!
Side handled kyusu type pot, small round cups and (This is what interested me!) a water cooling bowl!
After getting it home, I found it has an applied inscription on each piece- now I'm really curious what language it is in and what it says. (Probably a corporate logo- it has the feel of a cheap give-away item.)

Anyone have a clue?
(...going out of my Heeeeaaad!... Hurry or I may be dead {Spelled right!} They must not carry out their Eeeeviiiilll Deeeeeds!!!) Alright, I'm going to be singing that song all day now.

Korean?
Cool! We have a great local Korean grocery just down the road, and if nobody here can read the inscription I can ask there. (They already think I'm a little crazy, so well...)

천주교-- Catholic Church
수원- Su won (city near Seoul) 교구장 (parish/ordinarius loci)
최덕기 바오로 주교-- ㅡMost viruous Bishop Paolo
Seems like it was something that might have been made for the church or handed out to members at some sort of church event/commemoration.
It also looks like there is some smaller writing above the main part but its too small for me to clearly read in the photo, although a native speaker would probably have no problems figuring it out.
Looks like this might be the church it came from:

Ohhh thanks!
The set looks almost identical to the set pictured on page 7 of the 'Korean Tea ware' thread labeled as 'Geum San tea set for 3 from Hankook Teas'.
The crazing on mine is finer, but the form is nearly identical. I suspect an inexpensive copy as the applied designs are, as you can see from the picture, poorly applied.
There is a *tiny* inscription below the logo, but Its almost to tiny to see, let alone photograph with my point-n-shoot Kodak.
Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks for giving me something to do on an exceedingly boring day!
You should post up a pic of the full set in the Korean teaware topic when you get a chance~

I'll try to do that. It's currently pouring rain outside-I'll have to wait for it to clear up to have a chance at decent pictures.
