The plate is part of a series of contemporary ceramics whose production was initiated as a result of several artistic events that took place in Deruta between the 1850s and the 1980s.
The first event, the International Deruta Prize, aimed to strengthen the bond between artists and craftsmen, a custom already tried and tested in the CIMA factories in the inter-war years. 
In 1979, the consortium Gruppo Artigiani Maiolica Deruta 2000, chaired by Alviero Moretti, brought important contemporary Italian artists to Deruta before creating prototypes for mass production.
