商代青铜纹饰是铸出来的，东周人开始往器表上"嵌"——把红铜丝打进预留的凹槽，纹样一下子细密流动起来。技术上的一小步，审美上的一大步。

看什么
凑近看器表：纹样不是铸出来的浮雕，而是一条条嵌进去的红铜。青铜本体的颜色偏青灰，红铜偏暖橙，两种金属在同一平面上形成双色效果——这是东周青铜最标志性的工艺。
为什么会有这一步
铸造浮雕纹需要雕刻陶范，越细越难、越容易废范。而嵌错工艺允许先铸出粗槽，再把铜丝、铜片敲进去打磨平整。纹样因此可以做成连续的、流动的、几乎像描线一样的图案。壶这种器形本身就适合"通体装饰"：肩部一道宽阔的装饰带，正好围绕最大径展开。
顺带看一眼
同一展厅的分裆鼎与青铜尊：把这三件按铸造年代排一排，能看到纹饰从"铸"到"嵌"的过渡。
