The commission had gone to Ammannati back in 1560, when he beat Benvenuto Cellini and Giambologna in a competition to carve the marble already quarried by his old master Baccio Bandinelli, who had died before being able to work the piece. The ingenuity of Pollaiuolo, Antico, Cellini, and Giambologna, among others, was put to the test, not solely for leisurely enjoyment but also for tablewares of all kinds.
