Noritake China began in 1904, born from a dream to bring fine Japanese porcelain to Western markets. Founded by the Morimura brothers in Nagoya, Japan, the company quickly gained global acclaim for its craftsmanship and elegant designs. By 1914, Noritake had produced its first Western-style dinnerware set, blending Japanese artistry with European influences—delicate patterns, gold trims, and creamy porcelain.

In the early 20th century, Noritake became a symbol of sophistication in American homes, often passed down through generations. Despite the challenges of World War II, the brand endured and evolved, embracing modern techniques while honoring its hand-painted heritage.

Today, Noritake continues to innovate, offering everything from timeless classics to contemporary tableware, gracing tables in over 100 countries. It remains a name synonymous with quality, beauty, and tradition—where every plate tells a story of craftsmanship and cross-cultural elegance.
