James Hadley (1837-1903) was an English potter and artist associated with the Royal Worcester Porcelain Company In 1875, he left the company and set up his own modelling studio in Worcester High Street, but although no longer directly employed by Royal Worcester he sold almost his complete output of models for ornamental vases and figures to them. He has been described by English porcelain expert John Sandon as "probably the finest English modeller of all time".
