adding ど壺 from koj, daijs
  Comments:
-i don't see 'earthenware vessel' in any of my usual refs
-i think 'cesspool' might be an off-translation of 'night-soil pot'  (Nikkoku's entry for 土壺 defines it as:
肥だめ (which gg5 has as both "night-soil reservoir"/"cesspool" and "night-soil pot") and くそつぼ (which gg5 has as "night-soil pot")
=====
If there is support for 'earthenware vessel', perhaps:
[1][n][uk][note="usu. as どつぼにはまる"]
  very bad condition; awful state; terrible situation; in the shit
  [see=2730850・どつぼにはまる[1]]
[2][n][uk][note="orig. meaning"]
night-soil pot
[3][n][obsc]
  earthenware vessel
=====
nikkoku also has:

〔名〕(「ど」は接頭語)三味線の勘所を誤っていること。上方地方でいう。

Fleshing out the entry, and putting a bit of a different spin.
I'll approve to get the xref working, then reopen.
