context_page_description: Samuel Schellink was a Dutch pottery decorator, painter, engraver, ceramist, pastelist, and author of watercolors and gouaches. His active period was between 1891 and 1958.
context_section_description: Sam Schellink (alias J. Schelling, Sam Schellink, or Schellink Junior) was an autodidact and began his career in Utrecht, where he worked until 1892, when he moved to The Hague. In that same year, he joined N.V. Haagsche Plateelbakkerij Rozenburg
  as a painter apprentice. He would later go on to be the painter of their eggshell porcelain, for which he would become well-known. During this time, he developed the signature topics of his work which include still life, flowers, birds and, less prominently, landscapes. He remained with Rozenburg until 1914, when they went bankrupt.
  As a consequence and for a brief period, he focused on painting and entering the art trade. However, in 1918, he joined Tegel en Fayencefabriek Amphora in Oegstgeest, where he again worked as a pottery painter.  Schellink's last employer was Plateelbakkerij Goedewaagen in Gouda, where he fulfilled the same role of pottery decorator.
