Original Message:   A nearly identical murrine is on the cover of the Picards book Vol. 6
And after all that, there the murrine is, lower right corner, bead #31.

Apparently appears in different form somewhere in the Sick Collection, according to the text. My eyes are fried, I cannot look through 197 cards anymore.

The flower in the center of the Picard example looks orange to me, and I can't tell if it has 7 or 8 petals, but the general design sequence seems to match the murrine on your beads.

Nonetheless, I still think you're right in suspecting they're of Chinese manufacture. They just look too tidy and neat [which may actually be a feature!]
