Noritake Lanka Porcelain last week unveiled its latest range of fine porcelain, bone china, stoneware and cutlery at the Hilton Colombo.
The theme of the evening revolved around the Nil Manel – the blue lotus - which symbolises many of the aspects that are shared by the creed of Noritake, such as ‘Harmonious co-existence,’ ‘Mutual prosperity,’ ‘Social contribution,’ ‘Trust first; and ;Cooperation 
with integrity’.
The invitations encompassed the synergy between Japan and Sri Lanka, utilising the Japanese art of paper folding – origami – to create the blue lotus. The evening commenced with a scintillating lotus dance which was followed by a welcome address by Noritake Lanka Porcelain Ltd. Chairman Y. Mubachi.
A striking video presentation led guests through Noritake’s journey of global success that began over a century ago. The launch of five ranges of fine porcelain ware, stone ware, bone china and cutlery showcased a foretaste of the exquisite craftsmanship and quality that has become the standard of perfection now and in the future.
