'Noritaké The Standard Of Perfection' Celebrating the 90th Anniversary of Noritaké In Australia

From Our Humble Beginnings -

For those who may not be aware, the NCG AU/NZ commenced its life with a little webpage which comprised a small array of backmarks, 'The Noritaké Backmarks Library'.

This was achived with donations of backmarks from a couple of members and visitors to our early site so they could quickly date their pieces.

Within 6 months we had enough backmarks to make this feature available FREE FOR ALL TO ACCESS at their leisure.

From this humble beginning, the NCG AU/NZ, now provides one of, if not the most comprehensive range of FREE Noritaké Related Resources in the World, with links for collectors, retailers and people with a passing interest from every corner of the planet.

Membership -

Membership is available to Australian's and New Zealander's via the MSN GROUPS Noritaké Collectors Forum of Australia and New Zealand. This is a closed Forum and is currently open to residents of Austalia and New Zealand only. However, we are trialing limited Membership for Non-AUNZ residents who are interested in Noritaké produced for this region. If you are interested in Joining please click on the Membership link and follow ALL links.
