Yellow or Metallic-red ground; internal nest of green (that appear blue) threads. The upper part decorated with applied silver-yellow bands pulled downwards into single drops.
Note: A big thank you goes out to Toby Sharp, co-author of the book, "Loetz 1900 - The Loetz Glass Factory at the World Exhibition in Paris 1900, by Ernst Ploil and Toby Sharp, published by Im Kinsky, Vienna, 2017", for his help and consultation in documenting this decor. Since these examples match the decor drawn on the cut-out for PN II-390, it is most likely that these examples in PN II-390 represent the "PG 390" that was exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition. A "Grund gelb mit silber" is also mentioned in the production notes for II-390. It is possible that a PG 390 in a "yellow ground" was shown at the PWE and at a later date examples in a metallic-red ground were executed. Currently, there are 6 known examples of this decor.
