This decorative plate made in 2023 commemorates the beautiful fountains that make their home in Kansas City. Made in collaboration with the City of Fountains Foundation by local KC artist, Irma Starr.
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.
