Description:

This unique item was manufactured by the renowned German porcelain company Rosenthal as a promotional piece for Penn-O-Lene Motor Oils. The design traditionally features a finely sculpted porcelain mouse perched on or alongside a round ashtray basin bearing the distinctive Penn-O-Lene branding. Because gas and oil advertisements were rarely commissioned from high-end Bavarian porcelain houses like Rosenthal, this specific piece is quite rare.
