Founded as Nippon Toki Kaisha in 1904 by the Morimura brothers, evolving from a New York trading company (Morimura Bros) - Noritake is a renowned Japanese brand, established in 1904 near Nagoya, famous for producing high-quality porcelain and bone china dinnerware, blending traditional artistry with modern manufacturing for durable, elegant tableware used globally.
Originating from Morimura Brothers' New York trading company, Noritake specialized in Western-style dinnerware for export, becoming an international standard by perfecting production, including early hand-painted pieces and later mass-produced sets with intricate gold details, making it prized by collectors and consumers alike.
Known for superior artistry, meticulous detail, and using high-quality materials like feldspar to create strong, non-porous china.
Nortitake went on to become a prolific dinnerware maker - but their pre 1950s collectable and novelty teawares is where most collectors focus - as do we!
