In the final analysis, however, crystal is a type of glass and therefore does not have the feeling of density one finds in jade. Most crystal cabbage knock-offs manage to recreate the shiny brilliance of the original, but fail to capture the white color of the stalks.
但琉璃畢竟還是玻璃，缺乏玉的厚實感，所以坊間製成的琉璃白菜仿品，大都仿出了原件的「亮」，但卻做不出菜梗部分的「白」。
