Spode - The Evolution From The Best To Top-Tier

13/07/2023

For a restaurant to become a favourite among foodies, it not only needs to have consistently excellent dishes, but also a pleasant dining atmosphere to enhance the experience. Just like the Qiān Mò Fǔ Restaurant located on Shanghai's Bund, which boasts an elegant and refined environment.



As we step into the restaurant, it feels like we are walking into a gorge that has been turned upside down, with a boat sailing through the mountains and the stream flowing through the valley. The interior space seems to have a gentle breeze blowing through, and the stream shimmers in the light.



The public area is decorated with classic oriental red, creating a luxurious and ornate atmosphere. At the same time, the designer has incorporated natural elements into the space: the wall is made of rammed earth material, which is rough and simple, and is paired with black rocks to create a natural and rustic atmosphere of an ancient village.

The interior landscaping adds a fresh and natural touch of greenery, along with the intention of a mountain valley and flowing water, which balances the natural rustic atmosphere with the exquisite and luxurious first impression, creating a perfect balance.

Similarly, Spode, founded in 1770, perfectly blends Chinese and Western cultures, just like the Qiān Mò Fǔ Restaurant. Founder Josiah Spode imitated and improved the blue and white porcelain from China, and developed the underglaze blue printing transfer technique in 1783. In 1799, the delicate and lustrous Spode bone china was launched, which was almost perfect in its translucent quality, far exceeding all its peers, and won the widest acclaim and pursuit in the market, redefining the unique meaning of exquisite "British porcelain". Around 1816, Spode introduced the classic "Blue Italian" series, which not only made Spode famous, but also promoted the use of this technique in the British porcelain industry. Since 1806, it has been the porcelain supplier of the British royal family. Its blue glaze series imitates flower porcelain and is its brand feature. By 1820, Spode's bone china had become the quality and production standard formula, as well as the first choice for luxurious tableware and tea sets of various European royal and commercial entities.
