Fedor Fedorovich Maslov (1882–1952) – an artist and painting master in porcelain. He started working at Dmitrov Porcelain Factory (former Gardner Factory) when it was administrated by M. S. Kuznetsov. After The October Revolution he continued his artistic endeavour at the same factory, where he stayed for more than 50 years, working at the painting shop and later as an art laboratory specialist.

Maslov was one of the few oldest artists of the factory who appealed to the modern themes in his art. A famous work of an artist is a decorative plate with a depiction of a worker (1921).
