The Porcelain factory Desiree released in 1970 it first Mothers Day Plate. This plate was Desiree´s first production of decorative porcelain plates. Desiree's Mother's Day plates took its motifs from the world of children. In total 25 different plates were released, with different motifs depicting this charming and fascinating world, we have all experienced. Among others, Maggi Baaring, Nulle Oigaard, Mads Stage and Svend Otto S, i.e. some of Denmark's finest artists, have contributed with motifs for these plates. When Désirée introduced porcelain and the renowned technique underglazing in their production, it was used for the Mother's Day plates, but also, the following year, to introduce a porcelain Christmas plate. Désirée Denmark started the series of Mothers Day plates in 1970 and ended it in 1994, so this is the last plate in the series.
The motifs of all the Sven Jensen Mother's Day plates were inspired by events from the wonderful world of children. The Tradition of Mother´s Day has become very common, just as the Christmas. The Mothers Day tradition started in United States, where the author Julia Ward introduced the Mother´s Day tradition, originally to celebrate Peace ,then later it became as we know it today, the Mother´s Day. All arount the world the Mother´s Day are celebrated, however the date vary from country to country. In Denmark Mother´s Day is celebrated the second Sunday in May each year. This day the tradion says that Mothers gets a bunch of flowers or another kind of gift, like e.g. a Mothers Day Plate from their childrens.

Also in 1970 The Porcelain Manufacture Desiree released the first Christmas plate, or annual plate, all with motif inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen Fairytales. These plates was issued from 1970 to 2002.
