The agate-blue background appeared on Sèvres hard-paste porcelain from 1773. In the 19th century, this background color was used again and again, associated with fashionable decorations such as historical scenes, cameo portraits, animals and flowers. In January 1832, a new agate-blue service was delivered for the Château de Saint-Cloud, then Compiègne from January 1833. It is described as an "agate blue background with a frieze of palmettes printed in gold rosettes in the middle of the pieces that are susceptible to them". The deliveries specify that it is intended for the Service du Roi. Between 1832 and 1847, several thousand pieces were delivered for these two residences.
