This elegant ceramic vase carries a prestigious history from the "Golden Age of Flight." Produced by the renowned Plateelbakkerij Schoonhoven, this piece was originally created as a luxury gift for first-class passengers aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in the 1950s and 1960s. Originally filled with famous Bols liquor and sealed with a cork, these beautifully tapered bottles have since become highly collectible decorative vases.
The vase is adorned with traditional Dutch floral motifs in a rich, hand-painted cobalt blue. Its slender neck and balanced proportions make it an ideal vessel for a delicate bouquet or a standout piece on a collector's shelf. Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or a lover of classic blue and white porcelain, this piece brings a touch of mid-century European elegance to any interior.
Please review photos carefully, as they are an integral part of the description.

Starting in the 1950s, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines partnered with the Bols distillery to create unique ceramic gifts for their premium passengers. While the famous "Delft Houses" are well-known, these elegant floral decanters produced by master potteries like Schoonhoven are prized for their artistic quality. They represent a time when air travel was a grand social event, and every detail—down to the souvenir liquor bottle—was a work of art. Today, they serve as a timeless reminder of Dutch hospitality and craftsmanship.
