A story of Porcelain

Step into a world where art meets craftsmanship, where every curve, glaze, and brushstroke tells a story over a century in the making. Nestled in Matale, the Noritake Porcelain Factory stands as a symbol of timeless artistry and the enduring bond between Japan and Sri Lanka.

Born in Japan in the early 1900s, Noritake brought its legacy of fine porcelain to Sri Lanka in 1972, finding in this island not just resources, but a new home for creativity. Here, amidst lush hills and quiet towns, skilled Sri Lankan artisans mastered the delicate dance of fire and clay, bringing beauty to life with every piece they crafted.

Walk through the factory floors and witness the journey of porcelain, from raw earth to gleaming perfection. Feel the passion, the patience, and the artistry that have shaped generations of craftsmen.

At Noritake, you don’t just see porcelain, you experience the art of refinement, born from two cultures, perfected by time.
