1950s vintage hand painted ceramic figurine w/ 5 & 10 sticker, little cowboy and mutt dog

I love this unmarked Japan ceramic figure, a little boy and his dog, so sweet! This has the remains of a paper price label from a 5 to $1 store on the bottom.

This is a large piece, about 8" tall overall. Condition is very good - very little soil or wear to the paint, just one tiny fleabite chip to the tip of the dog's nose.
