細說鑲嵌話異同
有關裝飾技藝「鑲嵌」一詞，當是籠統說法。而「螺鈿」算是比較專業用語，也與鑲嵌有關，但限以貝殼加工嵌入硬木當中，更具體來說就是把貝殼的裡層雕刻成各種圖案，嵌入或黏在木器或漆器表面的一種裝飾技藝。清代家具工藝應用此一技法，至為普遍。至於「鑲嵌」一詞，則不限定使用貝殼，木材、金屬、玉石，獸骨等都有可能。「鑲嵌」英語當譯成 inlay，但西方的裝飾技法，用詞分得更細，如 inlay, marquetry, parquetry（parquet）, intarsia 等，都可籠統說成鑲嵌。不過想要認真分辨其間差異，不妨直接從以下定義，再藉助照片瞭解清楚。

4. intarsia
A decorative inlaid pattern in a surface, especially a mosaic worked in wood.
Form of wood inlay. Italian intarsia, or inlaid mosaic of wood, which probably derived from East Asian ivory and wood inlay, found its richest expression during the Renaissance in Italy (c. 1400 – 1600). It was often used in panels over the backs of choir stalls and in private studies and chapels of princes.
