Hu Shu laughed heartily, following Lin Chuan's lead, "Indeed, from the decoration and style, we can rule out the early period."
Lin Chuan took another look at the jade vase.
The light from the glass cabinet shone upon the Qing dynasty Chinese tangled branch pattern thin-walled jade vase, revealing a gentle and pure luster without any flaws. However, it differed in subtle ways from the patina and play of light and shadow Lin Chuan expected to see on an object several hundred years old.
It really was a fake!
Lin Chuan cursed inwardly.
Whether it was fake before it was repatriated or became a fake afterward was unknown.
If it was the latter, the gall of those who dared to replace such a national treasure!
"Mr. Lin?"
Seeing Lin Chuan absorbed in thought, Hu Shu called out to him.
Lin Chuan snapped back to reality and smiled, "Judging from the patina of the thin-walled jade vase, it should be a work from the mid-Qing period."
