Biographical Details	He was the son of Joseph Blore, a monumental mason of Derby. Around 1837 he modelled a figure of the Sleeping Endymion, based on a work by Canova, later reproduced in biscuit porcelain by the Derby china works (1). In 1841 he moved to Middlesbrough, where he worked for Moss, Isaac Wilson and Co, who had opened a pottery there in 1838. Literary References: Gunnis 1968, 57
