The factory specialized in utility ware, reticulated porcelain, and decorative tableware, often featuring gold filigree, floral motifs, and fruit patterns. By 1937, the company had expanded to 400 employees, producing high-quality porcelain for both domestic and export markets. Schwarzenhammer continued operations until 1986, when it closed due to financial difficulties.
