What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly cherish this Noritake pattern for its timeless elegance and sophisticated simplicity, making it a staple for special occasions and heirloom collections. Reviewers consistently praise the china's substantial yet refined quality, noting its excellent durability for fine bone china. The design, featuring pristine white porcelain and a delicate platinum band, is highly valued for its classic aesthetic that mixes well with other pieces. The primary drawback noted is the platinum trim’s incompatibility with microwaves, an expected limitation for collectors. Despite this minor constraint, the pattern drives high satisfaction, positioning it as a beloved, high-quality investment that successfully elevates any dining experience.
Know before you buy
The standard five-piece setting consists of a dinner plate, salad plate, bread and butter plate, a teacup, and a matching saucer.
No, the Cherish pattern is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Because this is vintage fine china, we recommend hand washing all pieces to preserve the delicate floral motifs and glaze.
No, the Cherish pattern was discontinued in 1979. It is considered a vintage collection, making it a unique find for collectors or those looking to complete a set.
This collection is crafted from fine porcelain and is not chip-resistant. It is best suited for formal dining or careful, occasional use rather than heavy, everyday wear.
The 7-inch coupe soup bowl is a separate piece from the standard five-piece place setting. Please verify if your specific purchase includes this bowl, as it is often sold as an individual component.
