The young man continued, “I am no expert, but I have some study in appraising antiques, and I just so happen to have a deep understanding of Shen Dai’s carving style and all of his works.”
“Shen Dai’s flower carvings have always emphasized smooth lines. This White Jade Orchid Blossom Vase is founded on those smooth lines, but with an even greater difficulty. The petals are layered to emphasize depth, with varying sizes of buds about to bloom, and the root of the orchid fades naturally in its greenish-white jade color.”

“The authentic White Jade Orchid Blossom has a subtle and tender color, and its craftsmanship is so exquisite that it seems heaven-sent. The jade orchid blossoms appear as real as living blossoms, exuding a charm that just cannot be replicated by a forgery.”

“But I’ve been out of touch with that friend for a while now, and I don’t know if she still has it.”
“I think you’re just talking nonsense here!”
