The Noritake of today grew out of a trading company (Morimura Brothers) that was established in New York in 1876. This trading company imported chinaware, curios, paper lanterns and other gift items. In 1904, the forerunner of the Noritake Company was established in the village of Noritake near Nagoya in Japan. The goal of this first factory was to create western style dinnerware for export, but it was not until 1914 that the process was perfected.
This earliest Noritake china was mostly hand painted, often with liberal applications of gold. By the early 1920. Noritake introduced assembly line techniques which allowed for mass production of high quality, yet affordable dinnerware. From this time on the company started to grow very quickly and in the ensuing decades continued to perfect its production capabilities, expanding to markets world-wide.
In the Hotel and Restaurant market Noritake products are being used by luxury hotel & resort groups, restaurant, airlines, and are highly valued for the sophisticated design, high quality and durability.
Noritake tableware has also been used for state guest banquets such as formal dinner at the G8 summit or working dinner at the G7 Summit.
