#1 KLM Blue Delft House Miniature Bols Royal Distilleries Holland For Sale

This listing is an empty #1 KLM Delft house with the cork loose inside the bottle.I did manage to jiggle the bottle a little to get the cork to settle in the bottle opening but I can'tguarantee it will stay put.Measures 3" tall, 1 1/4" wide and 2" deep.No year, no measurement of liquid is labeled.

This piece boasts the characteristic blue and white design that is unique to KLM airlines, making it a valuable addition to any collection.

The Rynbende house #1 is part of KLM's iconic collection of miniature porcelain houses, a tradition starting in the 1950s.

Thepractice of giving the Delftware replicas began when KLM found a clever way to get around rules prohibiting airlines from gifting passengers for fear that it represented unfair competition. Sealed and filled with Dutch gin, the house was not necessarily considered a gift, but more of a beverage from the airline.

Each year on the airline’s birthday, many passengers book long-haul flights with the express purpose of adding the newest house to their collection. With a number printed on the back of each house and a dedicated app, it’s easy to keep track of which houses you have—but the only way to get one is by flying on an intercontinental flight with the airline or picking one up from an antique shop or here on !

During the 1970s and 1980s, honeymooning couples on KLM flights would receive a house as a gift although today, getting one is much more difficult.
