Chinese Nesting Tables Hand Carved 1800's?

Description I recently inherited these Chinese Nesting Tables. On the bottom of each, the letters "CHINAMADEIN" & "KWONGTUNGPUNCHEONG" are burned into the wood, along with handwritten Chinese writing. I cannot find ANY matches or information on them. My aunt who had them collected VERY expensive, rare, and unique treasures.. So I wouldn't rule out these being either amazingly rare/valuable/old.... Or something she, her mother, or her mother actually bought in person themselves. . . I think that they are absolutely amazing! The craftsmanship, softness of the hand carved corners and features... I am an engraver so I APPRECIATE them SO MUCH! ANY help would be greatly appreciated! I just don't want the details lost.. As hopefully someday my son (who LOVES Artistic items already) will be able to convey the details and the beauty! Thank you! Jay Kjspapa @ yahoo . com
Category China
Medium Assuming that the wood is Rosewood.
Distinguishing marks As mentioned, on the bottom of each table; using handset metal reverse type, there are two words... I say words because there are no spaces between the actual words... I. E. "CHINAMADEIN" is one marking... & the other is noted in the description. Both are "burned.. Or branded" into the wood.
