2 letters enclosed in a cirle, with the words MADE IN DENMARK around the perimeter. I'm not quite sure if the first letter is an A or an F, but the second is definitely an H. It's on the bottom of a large teak coffee table that I've been trying to ID, but I can't find a reference to this mark.

It's not Fritz Hansen (I don't think so at least).

Your help is appreciated as always:

Looks very much like the Fritz Hansen mark to me, why do you think it isn't?

My blurry iPhone pic is not showing these 3 small details:
1) it is fH, not FH, i.e It is a lower case f paired with an upper
case H. Fritz Hansen is FH.
2) the top of the f connects with the top of the H, but the small
middle line for the f never physically connects with the first
letter. It is only attached to the left side of the H.
3) the mark is branded. Fritz Hansen marks are usually in ink.
This is what Fritz Hansen's markings look like, the difference is subtle but there:

versus....
see how the middle line is clearly connected to the side of the H. That's why I think this is not Fritz Hansen.

I can see the difference (I did think that too) but there are many different FH ink marks. I have seen quite a few variations. Is it not possible the ink smudged/ran when it was stamped? Just looks very similar to me. Have you got an image of the piece the stamp belongs to or did you just see the stamp somewhere and was curious?

No ink, it's a burned-in branded mark.
the table is from one of my consignors. It was half buried in other stuff, I didn't feel like digging it out of his storage at the time, I just wanted to ID it first. I'll try and pop by to take another photo this afternoon.

Knowledge from a Danish;-)
Hi,
I stumbled upon your discussion, and found the details very interesting.
I show a great interest in danish architect-made furniture, and to begin with I did not hesitate to say that the stamps was Fritz Hansen... But what I thought was most suspicious was the white printing on the ant chair, and the screws used to fix the legs to the shell... Please let me know, if I can help you in any way, it would be a pleasure... And if you need any kind of danish furniture, let me know, the price difference between the US and here is huge;-)

Well
I'm the pretty sure the second letter is a K, and the first is A or R.

Definitely FK
I am afraid I cannot help with the name of manufacturer, however I can confirm that the logo is FK. You can see it on this picture illustrating various Scandinavian logos, third one down on the left..

Hmmm
I still don't see how one could determine that to be definitively an F.
