From the Getty Museum record
The black ground color on this cup and saucer with butterflies, moths, and insects rendered in platinum and two colors of gold imitates the look of Japanese lacquer. Such pieces exhibit the remarkable variety of decorative effects that the ceramic artists at Sèvres mastered and reflect the factory’s perpetual quest for novel types of ornamentation.
