Noritake Colorwave Review

We chose this china as our wedding china.  I wanted to have something I could stand to look at every day for the next 50 years.  There are multiple colors available (blue, purple, sand, brown, red, green, etc.) to match any color scheme in a kitchen or dining room.  The interiors are a pleasant ivory color.  With the proper trimmings, this china also sets a very lovely fine dining table.

The only drawback to this china is that it is very susceptible to nickel marks.  The ivory on the plates will get gray streaks as utensils repeatedly strike.  At first I thoguht this was irreparable.  I was informed by Noritake that a scouring ceramic cleaner or Bar Keeper's Friend (not Comet--it needs some other chemical) will take the marks off.  With some effort and time, the marks do come off and the plates, bowls, etc. do not lose their sheen.

Overall I am very pleased with my choice and would recommend it to anyone who does not mind taking the time to use a little elbow-grease about once a year to clean uup their plates.  : )
