John William Wadsworth (1879–1955)[1] was a British ceramicist.
After studying at the Royal College of Art, he began his career at the Mintons company in Stoke-on-Trent, where he collaborated closely with Léon-Victor Solon on Art Nouveau designs. These products were marketed as "secessionist ware" in a reference to the Vienna Secession art movement.[2]
He emigrated to the United States in 1901.[2]
He moved to the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company as Art Director in 1915.
He was the father of the potter Philip Wadsworth, born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1910.[3]
