Pottery cow on a stand

This is not authentic Delft. It has been made by Pottery Zenith from Gouda. Handpainted.

Your piece was most likely made between approximately 1950 and 1984, most probably in the 1960s or 70s. The crown mark combined with the model number and 'Made in Holland' is typical for those Zenith products.

The Zenith pottery factory from Gouda has a rich history that dates back to 1749, when Pieter Dirksz van der Want established himself as a pipe maker. Over time, the family business developed into a leading producer of both pipes and decorative ceramics, with the name "Zenith" being used since 1915 for a new type of tobacco pipe.

After the Second World War, Zenith experienced a revival, focusing on Delft blue pottery and tableware. In 1980, the company was hit by a major fire in which the warehouse and archives were destroyed. Due to declining sales, Zenith permanently closed its doors in 1984.
