Is this cased ruby aventurine vase murano please?

This stands 7 inches, is white milk glass inside and ruby with tiny glittering flecks, looks like aventurine glass which has then been cased in clear.

Thank you for your help.

Definitely not Aventurine as it is too evenly spread but possibly Mica flecks. The photographs do not really show the colour well - but I think the weak watery milky inside is typical for Chinese glass made 20 or 30 years ago. I think they managed stronger colours in recent years....
