Thanks for the info,I could not choose between murano and chinese but I guess the base view is useful to ID it..

Both the base and the detail of the canes help point to China as the origin.  Sadly, you will sometimes find similar pieces with a 'Murano' or similar Italian sounding label (especially in the US) due to unscrupulous exporters / importers.
