Rozenburg Amphora eggshell bonbonniere Schellink 1914

 

*Not long after the closing of the Rozenburg factory on August 14, 1914, a handful of Rozenburg pottery painters left for the ‘Tile and Fayence factory Amphora Holland’ . Among them also Samuel Schellink and Roelof Sterken, who also brought their own drawing boxes from Rozenburg, containing the paint colors that are characteristic of Rozenburg. The Amphora factory also acquired a reasonable number of (unpainted) biscuit models from Rozenburg, which were then painted and glazed at Amphora. Strikingly often these Amphora Holland (marked as such) are pieces of high quality, both in terms of glaze and painting, which in many cases were only carried out by one painter, which is especially visible in the quality of the painting of those signed by Schellink or Sterken.
