A collection of four ceramic miniature houses produced by Blue Delft’s for Bols as commemorative genever flasks for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. These models are inspired by historic Dutch buildings and are decorated in the traditional Delft blue and white style. The collection includes House No. 81, a model of the Goudkantoor (Gold Office) in Groningen featuring a stepped gable; House No. 93, representing a building at Dam 27, Amsterdam; House No. 97, depicting the former Holland-America Line headquarters in Rotterdam with the inscription HOLLAND-AMERIKA-LIJN on the facade; and House No. 98, representing the Haasje Over building in Amsterdam. Each miniature is crafted from white ceramic with hand-painted blue architectural details and a dark blue glazed roof. The chimneys are sealed with original yellow wax, suggesting they may contain the original Bols Genever. The reverse of each house is marked with the house number, BOLS AMSTERDAM 1575, and the KLM logo. The bases are printed with the text Blue Delft’s exclusively made for KLM by BOLS AMSTERDAM 1575. Incised dates on the bases include 2018 for house number 98, and 2016 for house numbers 81, 93, and 97. House number 98 also includes the volume mark 35mle.
