Noritake Blossom Time China

No, these pieces are not microwave or dishwasher safe. The delicate platinum trim requires hand washing to prevent tarnishing and damage, and the metallic accents make them unsuitable for microwave use.

To preserve the platinum trim and the integrity of the porcelain, always hand wash with a mild detergent and dry immediately with a soft cloth. When storing, place felt or fabric dividers between each plate to prevent scratching the surface glaze and the floral pattern.

Because the Blossom Time pattern has been out of production for decades, these are vintage replacement pieces. We inspect each item to ensure it meets our quality standards for condition, but you should expect the subtle character typical of pre-owned fine china.

While the fine porcelain and platinum trim make this collection ideal for formal dining, it can certainly be used for everyday meals if you are willing to commit to the necessary hand-care routine. However, due to the fragile nature of the vintage platinum trim, most collectors reserve these pieces for special gatherings and holidays.

Platinum trim is durable but susceptible to wear if exposed to harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. With careful hand washing and proper storage, the trim will retain its luster, though you may notice slight variations in brightness compared to modern, brand-new china.
