Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • More recent production technique After 1850, factories in and outside Holland developed more efficient and cheaper production techniques. This goes beyond the scope of this website. Read more
  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more

Thank you for sharing, your violin was produced by Animo in Gouda, a factory founded in 1951 and one of the largest exporters of Delftware to the United States. 

A beautiful early 18th century violin made in Delft is part of collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam: https://delftsaardewerk.nl/bekijken/voorwerp/rijksmuseum/bk-nm-12400-91
