Does anybody have any info about ceramics (a pitcher) made in japan?

I collect pitchers (mostly the big ones sitting in the bowls). When I moved recently I came across a little pitcher that I don’t even remember buying. I must of picked it up at a garage sale somewhere along the way. Its smaller (maybe about 8 inches tall) and the main part is round. Its like a little circle w/4 little legs, a handle and spout on it. It sits in a little square dish. I’m not even sure if its a pitcher, I just don’t know what else to call it. It has a raised picture of a sailboat on one side and a lighthouse on the other. Both sides have a border of flowers and leaves. There is a stamp on the bottom. It is little leaves in a horse shoe shape w/a flower or clover inside of it and underneath it says Japan.

There’s an awful lot of Japanese ceramic around! So probably a visit to an antique shop with helpful staff is the best way to go. It might be a sake bottle, but it will definitely be a tourist item and fairly modern (I mean 20th century) as it says Japan, and has therefore been made for export.
