On December 14, 1843 he started his business and registered his own maker's mark certifying his recognition as a master silversmith. He exhibited at the London Exhibition of 1851 showing products of "Rococo Galanterie Waaren" and winning a medal for "a toilet glass of elaborate and choice workmanship". At the Paris Exhibition of 1855 he won a 2nd class medal. His display for the Vienna Exhibition in 1873 was praised by the French jurors for "des coupes, des coffrets, des cabinets de cristal de roche, des hanaps ornés de délicieuses peintures sur émail très-fines, imitant la belle époque de la Renaissance allemande". Hermann Ratzersdorfer was recognized as a master silversmith, and excelled as a goldsmith, enamelist, jeweler and sculptor of rock crystal. He became well know for many artistic creations. He was given a diploma of honor at the 1873 Vienna World Exhibition at which "critics and public praised the neo-Renaissance creations of the Viennese goldsmiths which were said to light up the gloomy Exhibition Rotunda with their colour and sparkle. Hermann Böhm worked from about 1866 until 1922. He also was known for creating magnificent enameled objects of the highest quality in the Renaissance revival style. wurden u.a. 1851 und 1855 mit der Preismedaille der Londoner sowie der Pariser Literatur: W.
