Sweet Old Hand-painted Japanese Export Mini Pitcher (Used as Ink Pot) with Dog and Bird

A miniature pitcher, made in Japan, which was clearly used as an ink pot, though I might guess it was made as part of a serving set for a doll (?) Hand-painted, with lustre glaze, and for me all about the very excellent dog sitting atop red ball, and the red and green bird too, which looks to be loudly squawking. Better in person, a charming little thing.

1 13/16 t ; 2 1/2" across handle to spout. Ink stained all over, which I have not tried to clean.Shot with magnification, which shows a hairline running vertically down the center of the dog, which is barely visible to the eye.
