DescriptionStarting in the early 1950s, KLM began offering its first-class passengers Delft Blue miniature houses filled with Dutch gin. These souvenirs have become collectors’ items and the tradition continues to this day. Here, instead of Delftware Dutch buildings, the flight attendant holds a tray of New York skyscrapers—potentially a lot of gin! The cityscape on the tray gives a generalized view of Manhattan as seen from the Staten Island Ferry.On View
