Noritake is renowned for designing and manufacturing the highest quality tableware. Below is a helpful guide for looking after your Noritake.Quality porcelain and bone china are the strongest ceramic dinnerware materials; they are fired at the highest temperatures and are made of the strongest ingredients. So you can use your finest china as often as you wish with as much confidence, or more, as your “everyday” set of dishes. But keep this in mind about all your dinnerware, glassware and cutlery: treat them with the respect that high quality, beautifully crafted products of any kinds deserve. Although very strong, porcelain and bone china are still breakable if abused, while even premium stainless steel can stain or pit if not treated carefully.

Dishwasher Tips for Dinnerware & Handmade Glassware

• If you have a dishwasher with a fine china/crystal cycle, please follow the dishwasher manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Modern Gold and Platinum banded Dinnerware designs are dishwasher safe but as the precious metal sits on top of the glaze due care should be taken. Please avoid using powder/tablets and the high heat setting on your dishwasher, as the combination of heat softening the metal and friction created by abrasive nature of the powder/tablet can cause the Gold/Platinum to degrade. If you are going to wash your fine china in a dishwasher Noritake recommends using liquid/gel based detergents and a low heat economy setting.
• Dishwashers clean tableware, but not always gently. Because plates, stemware and other items come in many sizes and shapes, they do not always fit perfectly into a dishwasher and can move around during washing. So load the dishwasher carefully and avoid overloading that can lead to items rubbing or hitting against each other.
• Whether you are using the dishwasher or washing by hand, use the minimum amount detergent necessary for cleaning and make sure your tableware is completely rinsed. An oily feeling or rainbow coloured sheen generally means that detergents are still present and the harsh chemical action is continuing. Rinse well.
• Avoid any sudden temperature change, such as putting a hot item into cool water – this may cause the item to break. Please be aware dinnerware marked ‘Oven Safe’  is for heating purposes only (up to 180 degrees).

Care Advice for Formal Dinnerware

• After the drying cycle in your dishwasher is complete, let your tableware cool down to room temperature before handling. The heat temporarily softens metal such as gold or platinum.
• Never put anything with metal (gold or platinum in the pattern or on the rim) in the microwave oven.
• To preserve the life of the China, we recommend to hand wash.

Care Advice for Casual Dinnerware

• Avoid any sudden temperature change, such as putting a hot item into cool water. Please be aware dinnerware marked ‘Oven Safe’  is for heating purposes only (up to 180 degrees).
• Never expose your casual dinnerware to direct flame, such as the top burners of a gas stove.

UPC/Barcode Sticker Removal

Noritake is required by many of our retail partners to place a UPC/barcode sticker on all pieces of dinnerware to aid with inventory controls. Sometimes, the adhesives used can set up rather firmly on the surface of the dinnerware. We suggest soaking the pieces in hot soapy water for about one hour. This should loosen the adhesive and make it easier to remove.
