| Delft houses from KLM (c) 2020 by David Ourisman, all rights reserved |
If you've flown KLM business class, you'll recognize this souvenir. Passengers on long haul flights to or from Amsterdam are presented with a choice of blue Delft china houses designed to resemble actual historic buildings in the Netherlands. I've even to the Royal Delft factory and seen the process by which the pottery is painted with the iconic Delft blue and then glazed. Of course, that was 51 years ago in the summer of 1969 — so I'm dating myself.
I've acquired these four Delft houses over the years...
73 — De Posthoorn
83 — Museum Van Loon
33 — De Dubbelde Palmboom
7 — Bols House
