Wang Shaowei (1817 - 1887 ) is recorded in a Republic publication, 《 Zhongguo huajia renming cidian 》(A Dictionary of Chinese Artists), where he is described as an artist of the late Qing period renowned for his paintings of landscapes and figures, who was known to have enamelled ceramics at Jingdezhen. Together with his contemporaries Cheng Men and Jin Pinqing, he was a pioneer in the use of soft matte enamels on ceramics which had a profound effect on the work of later artists of the Republic period.
