Hey CW, I didn't buy this....long story but because I couldn't give my love and thanks tonight to everyone I thought I'd throw this one out there for you to have fun with. No marks on the bottom and nothing on the back. It Is a pitcher with what looks like a gargoyle attacking a woman doing laundry? LOL
Have a great evening everybody.

Update:
Brought it home...because of the Id from: Kyratango!!
It is 7-1/4" tall and 6-1/2" wide from spout tip to handle end.
Sumida is a Japanese pottery that was made from about 1895 to 1941. Pieces are usually everyday objects-vases, jardinieres, bowls, teapots, and decorative tiles. Most pieces have a very heavy orange-red, blue, brown, black, green, purple, or off-white glaze, with raised three-dimensional figures as decorations. The unglazed part is painted red, green, black, or orange. In 1924 the factory was moved to Yokohama, at which time more colours e.g. orange were added to the wares, so this piece is made after 1925. The later pieces also have an unglazed background. Sumida was sometimes mistakenly called Korean Pottery or Poo Ware in the past.

I've got a mate here in Sydney that would have bought it for sure !!!
Vetra, thanks for the look and love and thanks to Kyratango I read the link and took an early lunch. :0) LOL
To my surprise there was a Ban-ni mark on it. Ask your mate what he/she thinks because I have some questions.
1.) most of the ones I see on the internet with the Ban-ni mark have the "coil look" this one looks like "crackle pottery".
2.) There is an obvious line on the bottom that looks like a seam. Is that normal?
I don't want to re-name just yet in case it's a fake or something but I'll post more pics for further looks here.
Thank you kyra for the ID and love. Never in a million years....
Thanks for the loves also: SEAN, Karen, mike, fort, mel and aura.
I really love this OGF...what an exceptional find. Anything in Asian art always catches my eye. Lucky you for sure !
Finally did you buy it? It is fantastic!
Glad to have been of some help :-)
Yes kyra I did thanks to you and to vetra I should have said please to him . Embarrassed by the post. :)* I just got a little too excited. .)
I think this pitcher is post 1924. It is in really good shape compared to what I have seen.
Thanks for the loves: SEAN, racer, kyra, mike, fort, mel, arua, vetra and nice. :)

Thanks for the love: Rick :)

rucklczglass, thank you for the love and the comment. It explained what was bothering me about the female, in that she is a child. Thank you. They are pretty humorous. :) Now it reminds me of a pic somewhere at my moms of my squirrel monkey and me as a child. But he was in a cage and I believe had him on the swing set. Sounds horribly cruel to me now but he was my bud for a while. Thanks again. :)
very nice
