Hello Nicolas,
There is no quick or easy way to learn this. It is good to learn things you are interested in, knowledge is important, and experience is best.
How I recognize this method comes from 30 years experience in metal products manufacturing, metal products design engineering, and many years studying decorative art techniques both contemporary and ancient.
For differences in non-ferrous alloys studying metallurgy is good to learn. For a good overviews of casting methods you could start at Wikipedia, your local library, and local museums that will have examples. Compare those items with the ones in contemporary gift shops near you.
Best regards,
Michael
