A rather stylish cover to the Pyrex Modern Cookery Book issued c1927 to sell the range of kitchen and ovenware to the housewife. By the late 1920s there was more of a move towards more of the burden of such domestic duties such as cooking falling on a greater number of 'middle class' women as the employment of domestic servants continued to tail off and in some respects the contents almost hint at 'cookery for beginners'.
Pyrex was possibly the best known of the borosilicate glasses that had been developed in the early 20th Century, initially in Germany. The experiments were picked up by the American company the Corning Glass Works and by 1915 they were marketing 'Pyrex' products. Back in the UK the Sunderland based glass manufacturers James A Jobling, at the Wear Flint Glass Works, at a time of general trade depression were canny enough to obtain the UK rights to Pyrex from Corning. It became their salvation as the glasswear proved very popular over the coming decades.
UK production of Pyrex ceased in 2007 when the now French owner of Jobling's, shut the Sunderland plant and moved production abroad.
The booklet is in a very period style - the front cover showing a coquettish figure displaying an array of foods in Pyrex dishes, whilst the back cover shows "the smartest thing in teapots", the range made by Jobling's along with coffee pots. These illustrations are signed "Harry Woolley", the artist born in Ashton-under-Lyne in Lancashire in 1881 and who died in 1959. This prolific artist and illustrator is probably best recalled as having designed many a cigarette card in his day. I do like the fact the cover has a copy of the booklet itself, with the string through the top right hole, pinned to the kitchen wall.
WEEK 47 – Cordova Super Target Final Day, Set III
Looking along the actionway that divides apparel and the backside of the pharmacy box and its various facing departments, with a greater focus on the deserted carpeting in apparel. Kinda wish I had focused more on those aisles on the left, though – that looks to be the remains of the laundry and cleaning supplies department on that series of endcaps closest to the camera. I’m really not sure what’s up with that… although the official directory does not indicate where this department was located, we know from past pictures that it was within grocery (look at the aisle markers), which of course is an extremely common arrangement for supercenters. So, assuming it was not in fact relocated… what were these items doing here? If I examined stuff this thoroughly in-person as I do when uploading photos, I might have been able to get the answer for you, but alas, the question is left to linger :P

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
One of a kind hand-made and glazed ceramic bowl that kozy created for our exhibition "End of Summer Never Ends" at Giant Robot in Los Angeles. 4 inches tall by 13 inches diameter.
SET 2 – Pier 1 Closing, Southaven
As part of the whole kitchenware and tabletop ordeal, a lot of Pier 1’s displays on this side of the store consisted of dining tables topped with decorations, similar in vein to what we saw on the opposite side of the store with furniture and chairs topped with, well, decorations. Same logic, but surprisingly fairly different end results, visually speaking!
As I believe I mentioned at one point earlier in this stour, Easter had been about a month and a half before these pictures were taken, but that was smack in the middle of the time the whole US was shut down, so a lot of the merchandise you see here was unsold (and indeed, not even available for sale) from that preceding holiday, such as that bunny on the table on the right.
More from here after our next round of Oxford Kroger pics, so stick around!

I have two less shelves for Pyrex here than I did in my last place, so it's kind of all over the place. This is in the main living room, some of my favorites!

Having been away for three weeks, the spoons need to catch up on the International News.

This looked like a brand new shelving unit, and if so, I'm thinking it was to become the new home to kitchenware, which was just an aisle or two over to the left in this view. And it looks like the lowered ceiling was present in the front of the store as well (as stated before, this was my first time in the joint :P). If they do remove the lowered ceiling over at the service departments, I hope they at least keep it up front over the checklanes!

I'm usually not a huge pink fan but I love this tea towel. It reminds me of skinny laminx dishtowels.
I buy a lot of mismatched kitchenware at thrift stores to photograph, but occasionally I find a pair of something
ODC - 3/6/2019 - Pairs
I just love all the retro style kitchenware esp. the little spice-rack(?) and the apple container, which looks just like one my grandma used to have. I have been meaning to photograph them for a long time and would, of course, not dream of actually selling them (^_^;)
A good guess would be kitchenware, small electrics, and/or related furntiure recently occupied this area near the front right corner. I looked (very briefly, and half-heartdly at that!) for an online store directory, but didn't see one, and it had been many years since I had last been in the place.

WEEK 42 – Goodman/Getwell Kroger, Revisited (III)
Taking a look directly across from the lunch meat department along the rear wall, we find the kitchenware department, which itself neighbors natural foods (a department we discussed last time). Together, these two departments comprise the space between the large produce department and the back actionway here, and as such, their aisles are all half-length as opposed to full-length. Their aisle markers, too, are simply the individual numbers you see hanging from the ceiling, as opposed to full tri-siders. All that begins over in Aisle 9, as we will see on Thursday…
With natural foods having been relocated amongst all the regular food aisles now, it is my understanding that this space is being rearranged; kitchenware will be staying, but I’m not sure yet if that’s all that will be back here (i.e. its footprint is expanding) or some additional grocery aisles will backfill some of the space (which is more in line with what I would expect). Per the remodel schematic as posted by kbable272, it looks more like the latter, with the kitchen place aisles also being rotated 90 degrees (just to be different :P )

So we went into upscale Galeria Kaufhof Düsseldorf on the Königsallee. The basement kitchenware court was advertising Chocolatier sweets.
Too much about SHOCKO:
At the very beginning, the company was named Wahana Rejeki Lancar, PD. It was incorporated in 2003 in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia with just one small machine.
On the same year, SCHOKO brand was launched. The brand name was derived from the German term “Schokolade” which means chocolate.
Introduced to food and beverage industry, SCHOKO was armed with only one product which is Special Processed Cocoa Powder.
In 2007, based on the rapid growth of the business and chance to expand the cocoa and chocolate business potentials, the company’s name was changed into bigger scope. It became Wahana Interfood Nusantara, PT.
Wahana Interfood Nusantara, PT. provides services in the fields of product development which enable us to cater different customer needs and respond to the varying customer preferences.
Our products are manufactured under premium brand of SCHOKO and various premium brands for overseas.
Now, SCHOKO products are present for food manufacturers, food services and retailers in nearly 33 provinces in Indonesia and many countries around the world.
As part of our expansion plans, we had also focused on world-wide markets.
In Indonesia, SCHOKO has become one of the most competitive premium cocoa and chocolate brands. Until now SCHOKO is also known as the first Indonesian brand that produces an array of premium chocolate powder drink product.
These two shelves used to hold most of my Pyrex, but I actually have a lot of other Pyrex throughout the apartment too! Especially my pink! :)
While I keep writing about the retro feel of the Marketplace décor at the Jonesboro Kroger, these massive overhead white banners are a nice, contrasting modern touch. There's little doubt where the kitchenware is, as these can be seen form nearly everywhere within the store! Speaking of massiveness: sorry I didn't get a count on the total number of aisles here, but it's very close to 60! At 123-125,000 sq. ft., it's the biggest Kroger I've been in to date. Although this Kroger is a nicely done store, too bad the next-door neon store was shut down.
Also too bad this store ultimately replaced Indian Mall, since that mall was a cool time capsule I'd been in on numerous occasions, but unfortunately before I joined flickr and ever thought about taking any photos of it. The mall road sign did manage to remain until late 2013 however, and fortunately I did get a photo of it, which I plan to post later as this Kroger series continues...

Tiff showed us her skills in the kitchen. She had some great quad cooking techniques and tips on handling kitchenware from your wheelchair.
Kitchenware and food, going up.

A view of one of the seven wonders of the waterways, the Anderton Boat Lift in Cheshire with a narrowboat emerging fromone of the caissons and heading towards the River Weaver.
A design dating back to 1785 by Edwin Clark, this feat of engineering allowed boats to be lifted or lowered 50 feet from the River Weaver at the lower level up to the Trent and Mersey canal above. It is affectionately known as the Catherdral of the canals.
It operated until closure in 1983 due to corrosion but has been restored and reopened in 2002.
It has a pair of caissons, which are watertight, that act to counterbalance each other. It originally operated by an hydraulic method but following problems with this system it was converted to an electrical method using counterwieghts in 1908.
This piece of engineering is one of only two in the country and has been designated a Scheduled Monument.
WEEK 48 – Carriage Crossing Macy’s, Set V
My only other shot of the kitchenware department is this one, from within the department itself, taking a close-up look at one of the customer service counters as well as the eponymous sign hanging above it. Okay, well, I guess it’s more accurate to say we’re only looking at the sign – the counter itself is pretty well hidden away behind all of those display fixtures, haha! I’m pretty certain that all of the hanging and directional signage in the store, such as the one we’re looking at here, were added by Macy’s, and that none of that stuff is original to Parisian. That said, it fits in well enough, inoffensive and not clashing with any of the numerous other non-Macy’s elements.
In the background, notice the standalone shelving unit in front of the large picture window – a technique we also saw repeated at the Southaven Gordmans, incidentally, but more importantly, that’s a spot I want you to try and remember for the future. It’s going to be a long while until I get to it, but once I eventually post my liquidation photoset from this store, we’ll see – with that shelving unit as a guide – that this kitchenware department endured some major changes in the time between my visits in 2018 and 2021...

WEEK 39 – Covington Kroger Closing, Set 2
At the back of that same kitchenware aisle we see another of the local flair photos posted along the wall, near where the lunchmeat corner transitions into the straight wall of the rear actionway.
If you look closely at the wire kitchenware shelving units on either edge of the photo, you’ll see some photocopied 20% off signs taped to the shelves. I’m not 100% sure if those discounts were to be found at every Kroger that week (it was Labor Day weekend, after all), or if they were here only because of the store’s impending closure – if so, this area would represent one of the few merchandise categories to have special markdowns.

Finally organized all the vintage housewares last night! I put all my enamelware (Cathrineholm + Dansk Kobenstyle) all together in a giant rainbow! It *almost* fit on one shelf, had to stick three pieces on the smaller one along with some of my favorite Pyrex. I love seeing this in my sewing room!

I had to rearrange all the pink after picking up the Flamingo pink cake pan today so I thought I'd snap a photo of my flamingo pink collection. I hope to find the long pan someday! I love the square dish and use it all the time.
Yippee! Finally finished off this iconic Pyrex bowl set! I have had the middle two bowls for a while, but when I was recently gifted the green bowl (Thanks again Sandy!!), I had to finish it up! :)
Found someone selling two orange bowls in the same listing, and jumped! It just so happened to be cheaper than buying any single bowl AND, Sandy needs the orange one too! Yours will be in the mail Friday!!

I wanted to see how many different colored 501s I have! The answer is a lot. These four are my favorite.
Friendship, Daisy, Turquoise, and Horizon Blue :)
T G Green, based at Church Gresley near Burton-on-Trent, were famous manufacturers of kitchen ware - notably the blue and white striped 'Cornish Ware". The pottery closed some years ago, sadly, and the name is now continued simply as a brand. This catalogue cover for the very '30s style 'Streamline' wear dates I suspect from the latter half of the decade.
