Richard Wehsener founded a porcelain painting workshop in Dresden in 1895, which moved into premises on Prager Straße in 1914. The business did not produce its own porcelain but was a decorating workshop that painted white ware by hand. The company survived the destruction of Dresden in 1945 and continued to operate. The monogram mark RW with the addition Dresden Handmalerei was used during the GDR period.
