Porcelain dishes are the epitome of great taste. Its elegance and lightness are eye-catching and admirable. The historical homeland of porcelain is China, but not only it has something to boast about. Japan competes with its world famous Noritake bone china.
Brand history
It all started in 1876 with a small business called Morimura-kum, which exported souvenirs and china to the United States. Porcelain was in great demand, and a whole production was created, which was exclusively engaged in the production of elite porcelain for export.
Initially, Noritake porcelain was painted by hand using gilding. But demand exceeded supply. It was necessary to automate production, and in 1919 it happened. Since then, production volumes have increased, and prices for porcelain have decreased, and Noritake products have become available to most buyers.
The reasons for the uniqueness of Noritake porcelain
The first facility was located in Nagoya. And this is not an accident. It was there that the deposits of natural raw materials were located and the most skilled masters of pottery lived, who knew the secrets of making dishes and the ancient techniques of painting it.
For more than 100 years of the company's existence, the production technique has been perfected to perfection, and proprietary secrets have emerged.
Noritake cookware is produced using only natural ingredients, no artificial additives. At least 50% of bone ash is included in the composition of porcelain products, which gives them exceptional lightness and strength. In addition, Noritake porcelain is distinguished by shades - dazzling white and ivory, with a characteristic olive tint. All products are carefully polished, some are covered with glaze.
Noritake products are distinguished by their design and exquisite finishes. The richness of color, the finest drawing of details - these are the trademark features of Noritake's floral patterns. Some series are decorated with gold or platinum edging, decorated with precious stones and rhinestones.
But in addition to expensive and elite collections, the digging also produces more affordable lines of tableware. They are of the same quality as expensive models, but have a more austere design. The style of their painting is somewhat different: instead of floral patterns, pagodas and other popular Japanese subjects are placed on them.
Many episodes are exclusive and limited edition. After their production, the molds are broken up and it becomes impossible to repeat these models.
Noritake tableware is a global brand whose products have won many victories, received titles and awards at international exhibitions and forums.
The name of the company has become synonymous with quality, sustainability and sophistication. Today Noritake manufactures are located on all continents, and their products are supplied to all countries of the world.
