Nikko Dinnerware & Fine China
In 1905, in the city of Kanazawa, production of semi-porcelain dinnerware was attempted for the first time in Japan. Nihon Koshitsu Toki Co., Ltd., was established in 1908 by the former feudal lord family, Maeda, and some prominent members of the community. As a pioneer in the manufacture of semi-porcelain dinnerware, in 1917 the company started operations in Pusan, Korea, to further upscale its production.
Experiencing the ordeal of World War II, the company's technology, fostered by its long course of history, came into bloom in the early sixties. In 1961, the company moved its head office and plant to Ishikawa prefecture to set the integrated production line with modern equipment and facilities, securing a position as a leading semi-porcelain dinnerware maker.
Entering successfully into the hotel and restaurant ware market in the 1980's was a major stride for the company. Continuous development of products satisfied the requirements of hoteliers and caterers in the world. As an expression of determination to make further strides with the approach of the 21st century, a new corporate name was adopted from Nihon Koshitsu Toki Co., Ltd. to Nikko Company in 1983.
Expanding its global business, Nikko products, which have developed in parallel with the history of dinnerware in Japan, have been exported to America through Nikko Ceramics, Inc. since 1968. Nikko fine tableware today is manufactured in Japan, Malaysia and Thailand, and is completely at home around the world. Nikko's goal is the "creation of products that increase the amenities of life."
Currently, there are no Nikko patterns being manufactured that we can identify.
