One thing that Kansas City natives can always count on is the city's fountains. This ornament is a perfect representation of the beautiful fountains finding their home in Kansas City, from Country Club Plaza to Union Station. Made by local KC artist, Irma Starr for the City of Fountains Foundation
Irma’s Starr’s artistic journey has been a trip back in time: she’s is a 17th century slipware artist. While viewing the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art’s famous Burnap Collection of ceramics, Irma fell in love with the slipware mermaid on a plate, by English slipware artist Ralph Toft, and has never looked back.
She is accomplished in all of the classic glazing techniques: combing, feathering, marbling, and slip-trailing. Starr has been commissioned by private connoisseurs, museums, companies, and the White House to create commemorative pieces.
