Description from the seller
This lot consists of eight miniature Delft-style porcelain collectible houses, historically distributed to business-class passengers of the airline KLM. These small porcelain bottles depict typical façades of traditional Dutch houses, with their distinctive gables and blue-and-white painted decorative motifs. The eight model numbers included in this unique lot, visible on the back of the pieces, are numbers 30, 37, 52, 55, 61, 75, 79, and 86. Each of these flasks bears the Bols brand inscription and the crown logo of the KLM airline. Among them, the houses numbered 37 and 55 still have their original yellow wax stoppers perfectly intact and sealed at the chimney, guaranteeing the presence of liquid inside. Models numbered 75, 79, and 86 carry the regulatory label indicating that the bottle is empty due to customs regulations on the air route used. The other houses numbered 30, 52, and 61 have been opened and emptied. Each item has a base footprint of about 5 cm by 5 cm and a total height of about 11 cm. The combined total weight for the eight-piece lot is 1150 g. Overall, the condition is very good, with the ceramic showing no luster loss, cracks, or crazing in the glaze on the façades or gables.
