The first character on the side means "shi" (shi fu) which is one of the characters in the word master or teacher. The second character we don't recognize. Both are written in complicated old style characters (not the modern simplified ones). The bottom characters are in fact not characters at all but Buddhist symbols.
What material is this? Brass? Hard to see from the photos. Can you post some larger close up photo of the side or the bottom? Also, where did you purchase this?
