KARI NYQUIST (born 1918, died 2011 in Oslo) was a Norwegian ceramist. She is most associated with her decorated ceramics from the Stavangerflint AS plant in Stavanger. Her designs are most often found pottery of blue clay or stoneware.
Nyquist was educated as a ceramist at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Oslo between 1934 and 1938. She established her own ceramic workshop in Oslo in 1942.
From 1955 Nyquist was employed as a freelance artist and designer at Stavangerflint AS. She worked at the earthenware company for short intervals and created designs for ceramic tableware, children’s tableware, occasional objects and souvenirs. Her drawings were reproduced as silk screens, most often in a blue colour on a light blue background, but they are also found in other colour variations.
