Richard Wehsener founded his porcelain decorating studio Richard, Gerhard & Werner Wehsener in 1895. He also opened a store on Zinzendorf Street. In 1914, Wehsener opened the store in the prominent Prager Street.
The company survived the bombing of Dresden in 1945 and is still active. Although the modern pieces decorated in the studio are not comparable to those from the first half of the 20th century.
