Lisbet Dæhlin

Lisbet Dæhlin née Hübschmann (1922–2012) was a Danish-born Norwegian ceramist who is remembered for her blue-glazed jugs and vases. She was among those who helped to develop Norwegian ceramics from practical use to works of art. After studying in Copenhagen, she moved to Norway in 1949 and worked for a time with the sculptor and ceramist Svein Visted (1903–84) in his Lillehammer workshop. Around 1970, she established her own studio in the Frysia district of Oslo where she worked until 2007. She has exhibited widely in Norway and beyond. A number of Dæhlin's creations are in the permanent collection of Norway's National Museum.

From 1942 to 1945 she attended the Arts and Crafts School in Copenhagen. She then gained practical experience in workshops in Denmark and France (1946–48). In July 1950, she married the university teacher Erik Oddvar Dæhlin (1926–2010)
