It was founded in 1908 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa by Lord Maeda and other local nobles. The Maeda lords especially fostered arts and crafts, and made Kanazawa a cultural center like Tokyo and Kyoto. The company originally gained fame for its ironstone ceramics. Following WWII, NIKKO expanded into Japanese households, and by the 1970s, they introduced advanced fine bone china to their lineup. Today, they handle all production in-house, are global leaders in bone china, and remain the only manufacturer in Japan. Nikko's \"Christmastime\" and \"Happy Holidays\" are two of the most beloved and collected holiday dinnerware lines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with our Nikko Happy Holidays pieces — the same design, in different shapes and pieces.
