Vtg MCM Japan Dog Trio Family Pups White Brown Puppies Ceramic Japan Figurine For Sale

This is a vintage Mid Century era Japan made ceramic figurine. This figurine is of three pups sitting together, all three brown and white in color. The paint is in great condition, all three dogs have cute painted expressions. Not sure what breed of dog, but all seem to be long-haired. Stamped Japan on the bottom. This figurine does not have any crazing, no cracks. There is a tiny black dimple in the middle of one of the dogs forehead, not sure if this was a manufacturing defect in the glaze. There is also a bit of missed paint in the glaze at the top of the middle dogs head, it looks like it might be a mild scuff, but it feels smooth to the touch.
Size is 4 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height.
Please ask any questions. Thank you
