Storer, Maria Longworth Nichols (1849–1932)

US ceramicist and arts patron. Impressed by the Japanese pottery she saw at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition (1876), she began to experiment with making pottery.

Her Rockwood ware won a gold medal at the 1889 Paris Exposition.

She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.
