Noritake China

Noritake Co., Limited, commonly known as "Noritake," grew out of a trading company established in Tokyo and in New York City by the Morimura Brothers in 1876. In 1904, key members of this trading company created the Nippon Toki Kaisha, Ltd. ("the Company that makes Japan's Finest China"), in Japan. This forerunner of the modern Noritake Company was founded in the village of Noritake, a small suburb near Nagoya, Japan.

For more than a century, this multinational "Kaisha" has engaged in prosperous partnerships, developments, spin-offs and mergers, so that many companies have come under the umbrella of the Nippon Toki Kaisha, Ltd. Most of the company's early wares carried one of the various "Nippon" back stamps to indicate its country of origin when exported to Western markets. Today, most collectors agree that the best examples of "Nippon-era" (1891-1921) hand painted porcelain carry a back stamp used by "Noritake" during the Nippon era.
