Founded in Nagoya in 1904, NORITAKE boasts over a century of illustrious history, having crafted bespoke high-end porcelain for the Imperial Family and earning the admiration of multiple emperors. With a hundred years of expertise, they offer customers exquisite and delicate choices, showcasing the extraordinary elegance of the Japanese Imperial Household through diverse styles and elegant carved patterns.
Recently, NORITAKE announced an exciting collaboration with "ONE PIECE," this time focusing on two fan-favorite characters: Zoro & Sanji. They're dropping exclusive ceramic tea sets, priced at 18,150 JPY, and are currently available for pre-order via the ARMABIANCA online store.
This isn't NORITAKE's first rodeo with "ONE PIECE"! Last year, they launched their first collaboration, which featured the iconic "Three Brothers"—Ace, Sabo, and Luffy—and was met with rave reviews.
Now, with the equally popular Zoro & Sanji taking center stage, these new collaborative tea sets feature intricate carvings inspired by the characters' unique traits. Crafted with artisan skill, these high-quality porcelain pieces are a worthy addition to any collection, whether you plan to use them or simply display them.
▼ Zoro Edition
It's a grand collection of Zoro's classic elements! Not only does it faithfully recreate his green bandana, Wado Ichimonji, Enma, and Sandai Kitetsu, but it also includes his pirate flag emblem. This entire design is a dream come true for Zoro fans! The cup even subtly features his iconic line, "A wound on the back is a swordsman's shame," elegantly presented in English for maximum cool factor!
From Zoro's silhouette and patterns to the text, the rim of the cup, handle, and plate edges are all adorned with gold accents, giving them a super premium feel. The cup body features a dynamic 3D splash effect, while the plate mimics ocean waves, resulting in a design that's both delicate and substantial.
Even the bottom of the cup and plate aren't overlooked, proudly displaying Zoro's exclusive pirate flag. This set isn't just for enjoying tea or coffee; it makes an incredibly stylish statement piece for your home!
▼ Sanji Edition
Sanji's signature traits are perfectly captured here! From his famous fried rice dishes and his dynamic kicking poses to his pirate flag emblem, every design element is custom-tailored. The cup features his memorable line, "...Thank you for everything you've done for me for so long!!!" — packed with emotion and nostalgia.
Just like the Zoro set, the cup rim, handle, and plate edges are all accented with gold. The cup boasts a splash design, and the plate features a 3D wave pattern, making for an incredibly refined overall aesthetic.
The bottom also meticulously features Sanji's pirate flag. Whether you use it, collect it, or display it in your room, it's absolutely perfect and guaranteed to brighten your day every time you see it!
