| Description : | A dark and light brown ceramic pie vent, which is hollow inside and is shaped like a bird. The pie vent is in the shape of a goose with its neck stretched up and beak open at the top. There are two 'C' shaped vents cut out of the base at the bottom. Inside the pie vent reads: ENGLAND. |
| Fonctions : | Pie vents were placed into the centre of pies while they were in the oven. They allowed the juices from the pie to rise up into the vent and not spill onto the surface of the pie. Items donated by Barbara Sayers Larson. Barbara Larson is the daughter of Annie Harris (1882-1986) and Beverly Sayers (1882-1976) and granddaughter of Arthur (1843-1932) and Mary Harris (1859-1954), n‚e Magrath. Barbara was born January 27, 1920 and was the youngest of three children. Barbara and her siblings, Geoffrey Sayers (1907-1997) and Dora Sayers Caro (1915-) donated Benares to the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1969 after inheriting it from their aunt, Naomi Harris (1883-1968). Many of the items donated by Barbara originally belonged to her mother or Aunt Naomi and came from Benares. Barbara lived in the log cabin originally given to her parents by her grandparents at 1723 Birchwood Drive. Barbara still maintains a close tie with Benares and currently lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, with her daughter. |
