Nikko Company (ニッコー株式会社, Nikkō Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese manufacturer of fine ceramics, known for its tableware products.
Nikko was founded in 1908 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa by Lord Maeda and local nobles.
The Maeda lords especially fostered arts and crafts, and made of Kanazawa a cultural center like Tokyo and Kyoto.
Western materials such as bone china were introduced and developed using Nikko’s own advanced technologies.
Today all aspects of production from glaze formulation to mould making are manufactured in-house by Nikko’s team of craftspeople.
