Chapter 460 - 431 Excited Crown Prince_2
The Crown Prince looked at the Buddha statue and showed a surprised expression.
He had seen all sorts of ornaments before.
Porcelain, wood carving, stone carving, glaze, jade, bronze, and so on, he had seen many, and only the fine pieces caught his eye.
But he had never seen an ornament as bright as this glass piece before.
"Glass! Glaze?" exclaimed the Crown Prince in surprise.
Glaze and glass look very similar in appearance, but glaze is more complex in composition and its crafting techniques are cumbersome and delicate. In contrast, glass is much simpler to make and easier to produce.
Of course, glass also has its shortcomings compared to glaze. Glaze comes in a variety of colors and layers, while glass, due to its production process, has obvious stratification in its colors.
For example, that gold Buddha can clearly be seen to have layers.
Glaze can also be artificially fired, but the cost is extremely high. Therefore, in Da Rong, glaze is a precious ornament, especially large and intact glazed products, which are even more valuable than jade.
Compared to that, glass can only be described as cheap, so cheap that the Crown Prince doubts whether Yang Zhenshan is lying.
