Vintage Oldsmobile Runabout 1903 Ceramic Ashtray

This is a vintage ceramic or porcelain ashtray, predominantly white or off-white, with a circular shape and several indentations around the rim designed to hold cigarettes. The rim also features a faded gold-colored detailing, indicating either applied gold leaf or paint, which shows some wear and rubbing, consistent with age and use. The center of the ashtray displays a colorful, transfer-printed image of an antique automobile. The car is depicted in red and green hues, and below the illustration, text reads "Oldsmobile Runabout, 1903" in a stylized script, identifying the specific vehicle model and year. The graphic itself appears to be in good condition with minimal fading, although there are minor specks and possibly light staining visible on the white surface around the image. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant repair marks, suggesting a relatively good preserved state despite minor surface wear and some discoloration. The quality of the ceramic appears to be mass-produced, likely from the mid-20th century, consistent with souvenir or promotional items. The craftsmanship is functional and decorative, typical of items produced for common household use or collectible novelty.
