Description from the seller

Accelerated Christmas and New Year flight, 1933
December 18–30, 1933. Accelerated New Year's flight. Outbound from December 18 to 22 and return from December 26 to 30.
This ceramic wall plate honors the historic achievement of the crew led by Captain Ivan Smirnoff and pilot Piet Soer.

At the time, it was not yet possible to print images directly onto earthenware. Consequently—as was common practice then—a photograph was printed on thin cardstock and affixed to the earthenware.
