Ceramic Crucible Dish, Fused Silica Material, 250 Grams, 3" Diameter, High Temperature Heat Resistant for Melting Casting Gold Silver Copper
For jewellers and casters handling medium-batch melts of gold, silver, or other alloys. This fused silica crucible dish provides a stable, non-reactive vessel that withstands repeated heating and cooling cycles. Its 250g capacity is practical for studio-scale casting work.
Key features
- Made from fused silica for high thermal shock resistance.
- Features an integrated pouring spout for controlled transfer of molten metal.
- Sized for medium batches with a 250-gram capacity for gold.
- Shallow bowl design allows for even heating with a torch.
- Unglazed, non-reactive surface prevents contamination of precious metal melts.
Who it's for
A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, casting technicians, and small-scale metalworkers. Also suitable for refiners and craftspeople melting non-ferrous alloys for ingot pouring or component casting.

How this compares
| Ceramic Crucible Dish, Fused... | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Fused silica for high thermal shock resistance | Standard ceramic or clay, prone to cracking with repeated thermal cycles |
| Pouring Control | Integrated pouring spout for controlled transfer of molten metal | No pouring spout, requiring additional tools for safe pouring |
| Capacity (Gold) | 250g capacity, practical for studio-scale casting | Smaller or unspecified capacity, limiting batch size |
| Surface Quality | Unglazed, non-reactive surface prevents contamination of precious metals | Glazed or reactive surfaces, risking impurities in the melt |
