There is only very little known about this manufacturer, most probably because the business only existed for a very a short time. Friedrich Wilhelm Wessel founded the factory in 1949 and mainly produced lace figurines and porcelain household utilities. Nearly right from the start he got into constant trouble for the misuse of the "Dresden" designation (e.g. Dresden Art, Dresdner Art, etc.) which he was not allowed to use as his items were not decorated in Dresden, in any Dreden decoration style, nor were they decorated by workers that had learned the trade in a Dresden decoration studio.

In addition Wessel also used a slightly modified but nonetheless unauthorized copy of an older Frankenthal mark which further increased his problems. The only sure thing is that he was not related with the well known Wessel family from the city of Bonn (North-Rhine Westphalia).
