Under the reign of Louis XVI, the Sèvres factory gradually abandoned the scenes painted in Boucher style for abstract patterns conforming to the neoclassical taste of the moment, such an elegant decor known as the "partridge eye". It was the famous painter Niquet who, in 1777, created this decor with a background of blue dots with a carmine red central point on which foliage of myrtle leaves surrounded by roses painted "naturally".
