His work led to a high artistic level at the company at that time. He graduated as a ceramist at the factory and later received an education at the art academy in Copenhagen as a painter and sculptor The old photo from the company's warehouse where the model in question can be seen is from the 1890s.

Wolffsen became artistic director at the porcelain factory Bing and Grøndal and later also artistic director at the Royal Porcelain Factory (Royal Copenhagen).
