A subscription to the Noritake News and membership in the Noritake Collectors Society ("NCS") is the best investment you can make in your collection. The Newsletter, in particular, brings to your door the world of Noritake the way nothing else can. Yes, browsing through the eBay listings can expose to you many great pieces, but in the Newsletter, you get to know the story behind those pieces, as well as getting to know about your fellow collectors.

The NCS is dedicated to promoting the field of Noritake collecting, and holds an annual convention, which is attended by many collectors and dealers from around the world.

Membership to the NCS is $30.00 per year (a small price to pay, given the recent prices on many Noritake items), and entitles you to many benefits, including four (4) issues of the Noritake News, the right to attend the Convention, as well as the opportunity to participate in special offers, which have included during the past three years, discounted and signed copies of all three of David Spain's Noritake Collectibles books, the chance to purchase reproductions produced by the Noritake Company for their "Museum Collection", and discounted copies of Carol Bess White's lastest volume of Made in Japan Ceramics.

A "partially" on-line membership form is available. You can fill it out on this website, but until further notice, you will have to print it out and mail it, with your membership fee, to the NCS. Also, please be sure to check out the new website - http://www.noritakecollectors.com/.
