John Cutts (1771-1851)
Landscape painter at the Pinxton factory, Derbyshire. In 1812 he commenced painting on the bone china body for Josiah Wedgwood II, specialising in landscape scenes. It would appear that he left the Wedgwood factory in 1816, setting up as an enameller and gilder in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. He took his sons into partnership, and by the year 1842, the family of John Cutts & Sons was employing fifty people.
