Vintage/Antique Banko Ware Japanese Teapot Mystical Figurine Yokkaichi Region

Banko Ware I believe, good condition,needs a gentle clean, I didn't clean it. There is slight mark on the spout probably when cleaned will come off and on the rim a bit of residue, needs a clean. Gorgeous teapot in the form of a Mystical animal, I believe.  Measures approx 11cm in height with the lid and about 20cm from tale to spout. It has a small hole underneath the handle. Thanks for looking great and interesting example:-)
