| Giftware Wholesaler |
Since 1904, we have been bringing beauty and quality to dining tables around the world. Superior artistry and craftsmanship, attention to detail and an uncompromising commitment to quality have made us an international trademark during these 100 years. Today we grew out of a trading company that was established in New York in 1876. This trading company imported chinaware, curios, paper lanterns and other gift items. 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 product was mostly handpainted, often with liberal applications of gold. By the early 1920's we 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. We were established in Australia in 1957 and grow very quickly, with the superb quality of the product and great value-for-money an instant hit with consumers. By the late 1960's we had become a household name and such was its popularity almost every Australian couple married during this period received our Dinner set as a wedding present. For over 100 years Noritake has prided itself on distinctive designs, innovative new technologies and unsurpassed quality in the manufacture of fine dinnerware. |
