Noritake Stoneware, Made in Japan plate: tested negative for lead! #Woot!
Please note: MOST of the vintage Noritake I have tested has been positive for high levels of lead. When it comes to the relative safety of vintage dishware, you really cannot extrapolate simply from a brand name.

Hi – I’m wondering which pattern this was and how old is considered vintage? I have Noritake Stonewear which I believe is the Watercress pattern from the 80’s. I’m hoping it’s safe because I LOVE it. 🙂
Hi Lindsay, thank you for commenting. All of the information I have about a pattern or piece is in the blog post. Sorry I don’t have more details. Vintage is generally considered 20+ years old or older. Noritake can go either way.

Hello,
I was recently given the Noritake Prelude dinnerware, it was made in Japan in the early 1970’s. How do I know if this is safe? Thanks!
Are all pieces of noritake madera ivory stoneware dishes lead free? (i was wondering about the cups and bowls in the madera ivory stones are.)
