1910 Whitefriars paperweight bottle ?

I do not think that this bottle is a Whitefriars piece. It looks like the Chinese pieces that sometimes emerged from Murano.  Any views?

I agree with you Alan, this is not Whitefriars and the canes look Chinese to me

The tiitle has now been changed from '1910 Whitefriars' to 'Stourbridge'. I have never seen Stourbridge canes like that!

I have sent the seller the following:

Please note that although bottles like this one have often in the past been thought to be "old English", they are of Chinese origin. The millefiori canes are typical of Chinese work and the blue-white-red cane in particular is still found currently in lots of papeweights etc from known Chinese sources.
