Got some exciting news! I have been contacted by Peter Bloore, grandson of Nanet and Donavan Bloore. Mr. D. Bloore was the last of the Bloore's to work at the ALB pottery. Peter's girlfriend bought a guide for him for Christmas, and he showed it to the rest of the family. Happily, they all loved it, and now want to start a collection themselves!
Peter told me something I found very interesting. He said that when his grandfather was with ALB, they had so many of these teapots, and that they were so inexpensive, they were actually considered to be "disposable" items. It was no big deal to break one, as they were easily replaced.
What would Donavan Bloore think now???
