The more evident difference between your Chinese and Venetian beads is the presence in the Ventian ones of a very thin external layer in the original cane, which can be seen as a thin black line dividing the sigle murrine in the bead. In Venice I was told it's a long time they don't make canes with a very thin outer layer as it is a difficult and costly process.
