Best Dutch Flag Porcelain Thimble

Directly north of Eindhoven, around the busiest regional airport of the Netherlands, lies Best: a municipality combining village warmth with an international character. This porcelain thimble with the flag of Best brings that special combination together in miniature.

Village with an airport

Few Dutch municipalities have such a striking calling card as Eindhoven Airport, which largely sits on Best's territory. Yet air traffic does not define everything: the old village centre around the Sint-Odulphus Church holds firmly to traditions, and new housing districts offer space to families who appreciate the proximity of Eindhoven. Thus a place arises where travellers, commuters and villagers meet effortlessly.

A symbol of identity

A municipal flag carries the colours by which a community recognises itself, even when surroundings grow fast. To the people of Best it stands for home feeling amid change; to collectors it is a colourful document of Brabant history. In miniature form that symbol becomes something personal to display or give away.

Collecting the Netherlands through flags

Dutch places form a staple within the thimble hobby. Each addition tells something about local culture. With Best a dynamic Brabant link joins in, lovely next to other municipalities from the Eindhoven region in an ever fuller collection.

A gift with character

An attentive gift for current and former residents, travellers who often departed from the airport or friends with ties to the region. When colleagues leave for far destinations, this makes a funny and warm farewell choice too.

In short: Best in miniature, Brabants and proud, preserved in porcelain.
