Gustav Otremba had established a small porcelain decoration studio in 1845 which was fairly successful. As the whiteware the studio purchased appeared far too expensive, Otremba later teamed up with H. Schmidt and started production of own items, mostly basic consumer goods like cups and tableware, shortly before he decided to retire.
Schmidt continued alone for the next years. Even though he tried to keep up with customer taste for a while, his main product range remained the same. The business eventually lost more and more customers, and Schmidt decided to sell the factory.
The Bing family from Nürnberg (Bavaria) purchased the factory and produced fine tableware which was either sold in Nürnberg or exported to a related store in London (England).
The factory was once again sold, this time to the businessman Robert Tietz, who concentrated on tableware and a few decoration items. Financial problems due to the ruined economy following the stock market crash forced him to close in 1932.
