Society hears of Egmondville pottery
Guest speaker at the
regular meeting of .the
Bayfield Branch of the Huron
County Historical Society was
William M. (Bill) Hart of
Seaforth and Bayfield, who
spoke on the Egmondville
Pottery.
Mr. Hart said the
Egmondville Pottery was one
of the longest operating
potteries in Ontario from 1852
to 1910. The first potter at
Egmondville and -its founder
was Valentine Boehler, who
imntigrated to Canada from
Germany in 1850, and stayed
for awhile with his brother in
New Hamburg.
In 1852 he .established the
pottery at Egmondville which
he purchased from Colonel
• Van Egmond and his son.
Boehler operated the pottery
until 1873 when he formed a
partnershipwith his future
son-in-law. • Jacob Webber.
The partnership lasted for
three years until.1876 when
Jacob operated it alone and
expanded the business and
shipped pottery as far away
as Manitoba.
During the 1880's, the
pottery works employed, five
men as • well as the
proprietors with a salesman
on the road. During Jacob
Webbers ownership he
renamed the Pottery the
Huron Pottery. 10897 Jacob
sold to his brother Joseph,
who continued the business
with the assistance of John
Allan • and Ferdinand
Burgard.
In 1900, John Allan rented
the pottery from Joseph
Webber, but after a few
months Ferdinand Burgard
had purchased the pottery
from Joseph. The pottery
closed in 1910. Ferdinand died
in 1922- at the''' home of his
daughter in Hamilton.
The pottery building was
moved to Brucefield in 1931
and the pottery cellar was
filled in with refuse. In the
spring of 1974, the remains of
the pottery was brought to the
attention of the Canadiana
Dept. of the Royal Ontario
Museum by Rill Hart. Mr.
Hart, who was a friend of the
owners of the property had
been allowed to dig there by
the owners. the Coombes
family. He had unearthed
many many pieces, which he
donated to the museum.
In'the summer of 1974 the
Royal Ontario Museum began
excavations" of the pottery
site. The objectives of the -dig
were to obtain detailed in-
formation on the kiln and its
construetion. The base of the
kiln was immediately below
the sod at the southwest
corner of the property. The
4tiln remains revealed a
circular structure with a
diameter of approximately 13
feet.
The second season of , ex-
cavations at the Egmondville
Pottery produced a
remarkable collection of
pottery vessels and potter's
tools. After removing layers
and layers of debris what
then became visible was a
large number of intact pots,
pot -lids over 300 in number
and whaVwas most important
of all, some of the potters
tools.
There were over 22 sprig
moulds for making applied
decorative reliefs to pots.
plaster of paris forms for slip -
moulding of lids and jelly
moulds and a finial ... the
Latter possibly used in the
home for curtain rods. There
was a plaster-of-paris coggle
wheel for making decorative
bands on the outside rims of
flower pots and finally there
was the glaze -grinding
wheels. A number of
miniature, jugs were
produced by the last potter,
Ferdinand Burgard, usually
as gifts or souvenirs. Sev.eral
of these are still in homes in
the Seaforth area and some
are owned. by Bill Hart. The
. Museum has five of these.
Three of the miniatures read,

A death notice of Dr.
Richard Stanbury who died in
1911 was presented to the
Historical Society by Willard
Dresser. Dr. Stanbury

home now owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Norman F. Cooper of

in 1882. shade trees were
planted around the Square, at
the expense of council. Frank,
A. Edwards got the contract
for planting the trees. The
contract was as follows: - The
trees to be protected by an
enclosure formed by three
posts of seven feet in length
each and four inches in
diameter at the top ... two feet
of which post shall be firmly
imbeded in the earth and five
feet above ground.
The post to be secured by.
three slats nailed at the top
and three about .18 inches
above ground . . . the slats to
•be three feet long and firmly
secured by two nails at each
end. Mr. Edwards was paid
810 for supplying the trees.
other Materials and per-
forming the work set forth in
the resolution.
The above was gleaned
from the old minute books of
council and is pertaining to
the tree i in Clan Gregor
Square which was tapped
earlier in the spring to
provide the delicious maple
syrup for the Centennial
Pancake Brunch on Sunday.
More than 500 people from
as far away as the U.S.A.
partook of over 2,000 pan-
cakes, 120 pounds of sausage,
nine .gallons of maple syrup
and gallons a_nd gallons of
fresh coffee, at the first
Pancake Brunch in Bayfield:
It had been planned to hold
the event out in Clan Gregor
Square, where for the first
time since planting, the
maples were tapped - and
yielded a high sugar content -
according to Giess Van-
derhaar, who boiled the sap
into syrup at his farm.
However snow and a cold
biting wind forced the event
into the Fire Hall and Old
Town Hall, but •did not
dampen anyones spiritS or
deter them from enjoying the
food. Everyone spoke of the
event as a tremendous suc-
cess and hoped it would
become an annual event.
