This vintage Stavangerflint plate is a classic example of Kari Nyquist’s celebrated work. Known for her "silk-screen" style and whimsical characters, Nyquist had a knack for making ceramics feel like pages from a storybook. This particular scene captures a spirited afternoon on the golf course.
The design is rendered in a deep cobalt on a pale sky-blue glaze—a classic Norwegian colour combination that feels fresh and calm. It’s a great example of that mid-century Nordic ability to make something look both simple and incredibly detailed at the same time.
