I think there are a lot of beads like these that we are quick to say are Venetian, while they can just as well be Czech. Could be the same for these.
Personally, I have seen quite of few of the Czech beads made in a similar style, but most of those were newer. So I find it difficult to compare them in detail to Venetian ones.
Below is an image from the Jablonec museum, showing beads from a maker that could easily have made these too.
However, at the Sick & Co cards, on the pages showing all Venetian beads, are also beads with the pulled down leaves and flower, and the aventurine bowties. But no exact match.
