Does anyone think that this paperweight may be Murano rather than Whitefriars...?

I can see why the vendor may go for whitefriars.  However Whitefriars only do butterflies in three ways.  The big ones made out of individual canes,260230076101    the  small blue butterfly cane  350041296317, and the mosaic centre cane (not on ebay at the moment but here's one at  Sweetbriar.) 
This one does have an interesting butterfly cane, but the other canes are totally Murano
