It's complete! I am so in love with it!
It was truly a team effort to complete this set! I found the 503 and 502 last summer. One of the 501s is from Twin72, and the other I received today from vonlipi's favorites! A big thanks to my trading friends for your help! :D
The upstairs kitchenware department was fairly large in size, but had some areas such as this that seemed somewhat lightly stocked prior to the liquidation starting. I have to believe that big yellow stuffed fish in the lower right of the photo was just misplaced merchandise!

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!

Asakusa (浅草) es un distrito de Taitō, Tokio, Japón, el más famoso por el Sensō-ji, un templo budista dedicado al bodhisattva Kannon. Hay varios otros templos en Asakusa, así como varios festivales.
Durante la mayor parte del siglo XX, Asakusa fue el distrito de entretenimiento principal en Tokio. El rokku o "Sexto Distrito", fue famoso en particular como un distrito de teatros, con cines tan emblemáticos como el Denkikan. Los años dorados de Asakusa son vívidamente retratados en la novela de Yasunari Kawabata, La pandilla de Asakusa (1930). El área fue fuertemente dañada por los bombardeos estadounidenses durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en particular en el bombardeo de Tokio en marzo de 1945. El área fue reconstruida después de la guerra, pero ahora ha sido superada por Shinjuku y otras áreas coloridas en la ciudad, en su papel como un distrito de placer.
Asakusa se encuentra en la franja noreste del centro de Tokio, en el extremo oriental del metro de la Línea Ginza, aproximadamente 1,6 kilómetros al este del cruce principal del metro Ueno. Es central para el área coloquialmente referida como Shitamachi, que literalmente significa "ciudad baja", en referencia a la poca elevación de esta antigua parte de Tokio, a orillas del río Sumida. Como su nombre lo indica, el área tiene un ambiente japonés más tradicional que algunos otros barrios de Tokio.
Con tantas instituciones religiosas, es frecuente el matsuri (festivales sintoístas) en Asakusa, ya que cada templo o santuario es anfitrión de al menos un matsuri al año, si no cada temporada. El más grande y más popular es el Sanja Matsuri en mayo, cuando las carreteras están cerradas desde el amanecer hasta el anochecer.
En una ciudad donde hay muy pocos edificios de más de 50 años a causa de los bombardeos durante la guerra, Asakusa tiene una mayor concentración de edificios de los años 1950 y 1960 que en muchas otras áreas de Tokio. Están los tradicionales ryokan (casas de huéspedes), viviendas y pequeños edificios de apartamentos en todo el distrito.
De acuerdo con una tradición peculiar de Tokio, Asakusa alberga un cúmulo importante de tiendas de menaje doméstico en Kappabashi-dori, que es visitado por muchos habitantes de Tokio para los suministros esenciales.
Al lado de los jardines del templo de Senso-ji hay un pequeño parque de atracciones llamado Hanayashiki, que presume ser el parque de atracciones más antiguo de Japón. Los cines del barrio se especializan en mostrar películas clásicas japonesas, ya que muchos de los turistas son japoneses de edad avanzada.
Navegando al río Sumida se parte desde un muelle solo cinco minutos a pie desde el templo.
Asakusa es el distrito geisha más antiguo de Tokio, y todavía tiene 45 geishas trabajando activamente.
Debido a su ubicación colorida, las credenciales del centro, y el ambiente relajado por estándares de Tokio, Asakusa es una opción de alojamiento popular para los viajeros de presupuesto.
El barrio es famoso por su carnaval anual de estilo brasileño. Hay una importante presencia brasileña en la comunidad local y la Asociación de Escuelas de Samba de Asakusa está basada allí.

Asakusa (浅草) is a district in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, famous for the Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. There are several other temples in Asakusa, as well as various festivals, such as the Sanja Matsuri.
The development of Asakusa as an entertainment district during the Edo period came about in part because of the neighboring district, Kuramae. Kuramae was a district of storehouses for rice, which was then used as payment for servants of the feudal government. The keepers (fudasashi) of these storage houses initially stored the rice for a small fee, but over the years began exchanging the rice for money or selling it to local shopkeepers at a margin. Through such trading, many fudasashi came to have a considerable amount of disposable income and as result theaters and geisha houses began to spring up in nearby Asakusa.
For most of the twentieth century, Asakusa remained a major entertainment district in Tokyo. The rokku or "Sixth District" was in particular famous as a theater district, featuring famous cinemas such as the Denkikan. The golden years of Asakusa are vividly portrayed in Yasunari Kawabata's novel The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa (1930; English translation, 2005). The area was heavily damaged by US bombing raids during World War II, particularly the 10 March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo. The area was rebuilt after the war, but has now been surpassed by Shinjuku and other colorful areas in the city, in its role as a pleasure district.
Asakusa was a ward of Tokyo City. In 1947, when the city was transformed into a metropolis, it was merged with Shitaya to form the modern Taito ward. The former ward encompassed 19 neighborhoods in the eastern half of Taito.
Asakusa is on the north-east fringe of central Tokyo, at the eastern end of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway, approximately one mile east of the major Ueno railway/subway interchange. It is central to the area colloquially referred to as Shitamachi, which literally means "low city," referring to the low elevation of this old part of Tokyo, on the banks of the Sumida River. As the name suggests, the area has a more traditionally Japanese atmosphere than some other neighborhoods in Tokyo do.
Asakusa has many restaurants and places to try traditional Japanese foods. One of the most popular treats is satsuma imo, sweet potatoes. Another special treat is chikuwa kamaboko, grilled fish cakes. The Suzuhiro store serves local craft beer with traditional kamaboko. Asakusa is also known for spices such as shichimi and sansho.
In a city where there are very few buildings older than 50 years because of the wartime bombing, Asakusa has a greater concentration of buildings from the 1950s and 1960s than most other areas in Tokyo do. There are traditional ryokan (guest-houses), homes, and small-scale apartment buildings throughout the district.
In keeping with a peculiarly Tokyo tradition, Asakusa hosts a major cluster of domestic kitchenware stores on Kappabashi-dori, which is visited by many Tokyoites for essential supplies. Next to the Sensō-ji temple grounds is a small amusement park called Hanayashiki, which claims to be the oldest amusement park in Japan. The neighborhood theaters specialize in showing classic Japanese films, as many of the tourists are elderly Japanese.
Cruises down the Sumida River depart from a wharf a five-minute walk from the temple.
Asakusa is Tokyo's oldest geisha district, and still has 45 actively working geisha.
Because of its colourful location, downtown credentials, and relaxed atmosphere by Tokyo standards, Asakusa is a popular accommodation choice for budget travelers.
The neighborhood is famous for its annual Brazilian style carnival. There is a significant Brazilian presence in the local community and the Association of Samba Schools of Asakusa is based there.
Although there are many festivals throughout the year in Asakusa, the most famous of them is the Sanja Matsuri, also known as Sanja Festival in May. In this festival, Mikoshi (portable shrines) and floats are pulled through the streets while loud shouts accompany them, and during the festival's 3 days, 1.5 million people come out to celebrate.
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!
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 (^_^;)
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

SET 3 – Goodman/Getwell Kroger, Post-Remodel
In the background of that previous pic, we saw the rear wall of the kitchenware department, which is itself the opposite side of the rear wall of the produce department, up at the front of the store. Those multicolored wood panels we see in this close-up are in fact just the reverse of the same from produce! (As well as the main “Welcome to Kroger Southaven” sign, of course.)
What’s even more interesting than that, though, is the additional hanging panel in front of all of those. Marked “SERVE,” it clearly relates to the kitchenware department; however, its style is not that of Urban Mix décor, but instead – 100% Artisan! See here for a comparison, taken at the Artisan décor Oxford Kroger. I hinted back at this description that the other hanging signs all around produce, a couple of which you can see in the extreme right-hand center of the shot above, also hail from Artisan décor; unfortunately, this break in our photoset is coming at a most inopportune time, as now we’re going to have to get through 15 18 more Morrilton Walmart pics before returning to this store to prove that to you guys. But fear not, as that’s exactly what will happen next time – stick around…!

Photographed at A Southern Season in Chapel Hill, North Carolina USA.
This is the rare wine celler and was originally photographed for a Depth of Field assignment for the 52 in 2015 Group. It never made it as one of my final choices, but it was a real treat to be allowed to enter this wine celler that is climate controlled kept securely locked. These bottles are priced from the low $80's and go up from there.
The lead wine person at A Southern Season was very enthusastic to let me photograph this special location when the store concierge and I explained that I had permission to take photograph in this amazing store for my assignment. Thanks to the team of A Southern Season for this unique opportunity.
I have no idea what this basic piece of 1940s aluminium kitchenware is called – but throughout my childhood in the 1950s I remember my mother using it for squeezing excess water from cooked cabbage and spinach. It’s not a colander, it’s not a sieve… so what’s the correct name?
Whatever it may be, today it still occasionally performs the same function it was designed for, although this time I’m doing the spinach, not my mum. Well, it's the memories as much as the practicalities, isn't it?
As you can see, it’s fairly primitive; the handle is held to the ‘saucer’ by two pairs of rivets. It bears the legend ‘Long Life British made’ in capital letters, and between the first two words is a parrot (see below). And that’s all I can tell you about it. I you’ve any ideas, I’d love to know!
Tiff showed us her skills in the kitchen. She had some great quad cooking techniques and tips on handling kitchenware from your wheelchair.

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! :)
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 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 )

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.
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!

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.
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!
