A collection of ceramic miniature houses designed as liqueur bottles for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. The houses are produced in the style of Delftware, constructed from glazed porcelain and decorated with underglaze blue architectural detailing depicting traditional Dutch canal houses with various gable styles. Each miniature functions as a bottle with a chimney-form neck fitted with a yellow-capped stopper. The collection includes house numbers 11, 12, 76, and 89. Houses 11 and 12 feature the dates 1650 and 1689 respectively on their front facades. The reverse of each house is marked with its corresponding number, the Bols name, and the KLM crown logo. The bases feature printed blue marks stating Blue Delfts exclusively made for KLM by Bols. Several houses include incised year marks on the base, specifically 2003 for number 12, 2015 for number 76, and 2016 for number 89.
