He decorated white-ware and produced his own patterns. Upon his death in 1845, his son Lorenz continued the Hutschenreuther Porcelain tradition. Hutschenreuther was a trendsetter and enabled Germany to gain an excellent reputation in the European china industry. The Hutschenreuther 'Mark of the Lion' is a symbol of excellence that continues to this day.
