Subject:Request for help with signature please.

Hello. I recently purchased a beautiful large vase that I was told is Korean, but I am not sure that it is actually Korean.
If you could share any thoughts as to the signature I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

I can tell you what the characters read, but that won't ordinarily determine whether your vase is Korean or not because China, Japan, and Korea all use these characters with different pronunciations. To determine more about your vase you need to post clear photos of it.

Sorry. One of the photos was supposed to be of the vase.

Yep, recent Korean.
The studio name seems to be 月堂, literally "Moon Studio", though I don't know the Korean pronunciation. The red "seal" consists of 顺吉, or wishes for good luck.
