Vintage Made in Japan Ceramic Colonial Style Toby Mug Creamer Holding Beer

For your consideration is this vintage Toby style mug made in Japan most likely during the 1920s to 1930s, prior to WWII. This little guy is too adorable. He is a portly Colonial Era man who looks to be quite content sitting in a tavern holding his beer. He has squinty eyes, a little smile, and cute dimples. His hat is actually the three-way pour spout. I did not a spot on the side spout where the black finish is void. I looked through my loupe, but cannot ascertain if chips or manufacturing glazing defects. Either way, a quick touch up with some acrylic paint or Sharpie should made the spot invisible. He does have quite a bit of crazing both externally and internally. In my humble opinion, it only adds to his charm. The mug measures 4.2 inches long (spout to handle) x 2.68 inches wide (side spout to side spout) x 4.38 inches high. The bottom is marked in black "MADE IN JAPAN", a generic mark used by many manufacturers during that time. Fun fact...I served in the Marine Corps during my 20s. This little guy screams Tun Tavern to me for some reason. Perhaps another Marine will snag him up thinking the same thing as I.
