Interesting article, wth a couple of references such as below:
"The use of the primitive Etruscan style suggests a time so ancient as to be inseparable from nature.
The extensive service of Sevres porcelain created for the dairy remains among the most elegant and sophisticated ever made. Pleasure dairies were usually equipped with tin-glazed earthenware, Chinese export porcelain, or, more rarely, Paris porcelain such as the set made by Andre Jean Marie LeBoeuf for Marie Antoinette's Petit Trianon. [21] The Rambouillet service (see Pls. XIV XV, XVII) is the only dairy service made by Sevres in the eighteenth century. Atypically for the factory, none of the objects are gilded. All but the jattes teton (breast bowls) are of hard-paste porcelain with Etruscan decoration that emphasizes the white body of the porcelain itself. "
