Description

A 100-year-old Noritake Laureate 10" saucer plates.

Noritake Laureate is the name of two discontinued patterns. 

This 100-year-old Noritake Laureate pattern was originally introduced around 1921. 

The metallic trim on this pattern means it is NOT safe for use in the microwave.

Since 1904, Noritake has been bringing beauty and quality to dining tables around the world. 

Superior artistry and craftsmanship, attention to detail, and uncompromising commitment to quality have made Noritake an international trademark during this past century.

The Noritake of today grew out of a trading company that was originally established by the Morimura Brothers 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, a small suburb near Nagoya, Japan. 

The goal of this first factory was to create western style dinnerware for export. 

It took until 1914, however, to create the first porcelain dinnerware plate that was suitable for export.
