About Us
Some things get passed down through families not because they're useful, but because they mean something. A dinner set that came out on birthdays. A teapot that always sat on the sideboard. A gravy boat with a pattern no one can quite name, but everyone can picture.
For over sixty-five years, Noritake Australia has been part of those moments — the Sunday roasts, the Christmas tables, the quiet cups of tea after a long day. We're proud to carry that tradition forward.
Beauty at the table is not a luxury. It's something worth sharing every day.
Who We Are
Noritake Australia was established in 1958 as the local home of one of the world's most respected tableware makers. We are the custodians of the Noritake name in Australia and New Zealand, bringing the same craftsmanship and artistry that has graced tables in over one hundred countries around the world to dining rooms right here at home.
Our team is small, passionate, and genuinely proud of what we do. We love beautiful tableware. We love what happens around a set table. And we love helping Australians find pieces they'll treasure.
What We Stand For
Noritake was never the most expensive brand on the shelf, it was always the best value for the quality. That philosophy hasn't changed. We believe that exceptional craftsmanship,
thoughtful design, and long-lasting quality should be available to anyone who appreciates them, not just the few who can afford to spend without restraint.
Every piece we sell has been designed with intention, fired with precision, and finished to a standard that has made Noritake the international benchmark for over 120 years. We don't cut corners. We never have.
Noritake in Australian Homes
Ask an Australian of a certain generation about Noritake, and you'll often get a smile. In the 1960s and 1970s, receiving a Noritake dinner set as a wedding gift was almost a given,
it was the done thing, a mark of care and quality that couples understood would last a lifetime.
Many of those sets are still in use today. Many more are carefully wrapped in sideboards and linen cupboards across the country, brought out for the occasions that deserve them. That's the kind of longevity we're proud to be part of.
