The promotional mug of the Mobil Oil Company, is typical of the 1970’s, which our families freely took from the Formica cupboards. Today this product is among one of the most searched for in flea markets and definitely at the Marché de la Mode Vintage, often in perfect condition (neither withered nor chipped); however, for the less lucky, some aging marking on the inside.

 Mobil’s logo can be integrated into the cup by silkscreen printing or distinctly more discrete (our favorite).

Cheaper than an original mobile piece by Alexander Calder, but with lots of color. The mug is priced, individually, at around 5-7€.
