小雅的前身,是江西瓷業公司,原來是做高仿青花瓷的,被日本、台灣等地客商追捧,知名度越來越高的同時也被國內藏家所熟知,主要涉及茶具、文房類小件。其作品精美小巧、工藝細緻,布局合理,畫面多以花鳥魚蟲為主,偏女性的風格配以精巧的小件瓷器上相得益彰,有小件之王的美譽。
取名小雅也是有這方面的含義,小而雅致,不登大雅之堂,體現了品牌的含蓄與低調,與小雅大部分產品都是小件相符,《詩經》中《小雅》篇也有待客之道的含義。
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,哪里上釉把子、好拿否、容量大小、流水性、口径长短、胎子厚薄、手感是否打滑、是否烫手、底部打磨等都经过长期试验。
小雅品牌和小雅主人阮定荣的追求分不开,阮先生本身就是完美主义者,是一个不折不扣的艺术家,他把每件作品都当成收藏品来做,为品质可以冒一切经济风险,让小雅这个品牌跻身于景德镇顶级窑口之一。
