Why
Most Noritake china is made of high-fired porcelain that can withstand dishwasher temperatures. However, pieces with metallic accents (gold, platinum) or hand-painted details may be damaged by harsh detergents and high heat. Always check the specific pattern's care instructions.
How do you wash Noritake china?
Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid high heat drying. For pieces with metallic trim, hand wash with a soft sponge and dry immediately.
