Xiaoya: Blue and White Lion Pattern Cup｜小雅：青花狮子纹杯

Xiaoya means “petite and elegant”, as opposed to the “grand elegance” sought after by many, reflecting the brand’s subtlety and low-key style, echoing the small sizes of Xiaoya’s products. In the namesake chapter “Xiaoya” of Classic of Poetry, the word also connotes the meaning of hospitality.

Recognized as the king of small items, Xiaoya mainly focuses on tea sets and traditional Chinese stationery. With its exquisite craftsmanship, Xiaoya only selects clay local to Jingdezhen and high-grade blue-and-white cobalt materials. From moulding to trimming, painting and glazing, each piece all hand-made. Each of Xiaoya’s works is detailed and exquisite in painting, first-class in composition, classic but not archaic, and thus has great artistic value. Not only paying great attention to design and aesthetics, Xiaoya also strives for perfection in functionality in daily uses. With all details meticulously tested, each Xiaoya piece embodies aesthetics and practicality.

小雅，小而雅致，不登大雅之堂的含义，这也体现了品牌的含蓄与低调，与小雅大部分产品都是小件相符。在《诗经》之《小雅》篇中也有待客之道的含义。

小雅主要以茶具、文房为主，是公认的小件之王。小雅工艺考究，只选景德镇本地陶土，高档原矿青花钴料，从泥巴，拉坯，利坯，绘画，上釉等等都是全手工制作。每一款小雅作品，画工细腻，精致，构图一流，仿古而不复古，极具艺术价值。除关注设计美外，还对成器是否好用精益求精，所有细节都经过长期试验，是集美学与实用于一体的佳器。
