KLM Delft Blue miniature houses are iconic collectibles traditionally given to World Business Class passengers on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flights. These miniatures are modeled after real historic buildings in the Netherlands and the Dutch Caribbean. Since the 1950s, these porcelain houses have been a staple of the airline's brand identity.

Traditionally, each miniature contains Bols Jenever, a famous Dutch gin, making the item both a souvenir and a beverage container. The production was previously handled by various potteries, including Royal Goedewaagen, but since the 1990s, they have been closely associated with the heritage of Delftware craftsmanship.

The airline introduces a new house every year on its anniversary (October 7th). The brand is owned by KLM, which is part of the larger Air France-KLM Group, representing a significant piece of Dutch cultural marketing and aviation history.
