Melting for a pour is no place for an unpredictable vessel. This fused silica dish takes a torch across repeated heating and cooling cycles with strong resistance to thermal shock, and the shallow bowl lets the whole charge come up to temperature evenly — gold, silver or copper alike, with capacity for 250 g of gold.

The integrated spout gives a controlled transfer into the mould, and the unglazed surface stays non-reactive, so nothing leaches into a precious metal melt. At 3 inches (76 mm) across, it sits at studio scale rather than refinery scale. Dedicate one dish to each metal where you can — contamination is easier to prevent than to refine out.

  • 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.

Lucy C. ★★★★★

I’ve put this dish through five torch cycles so far, and not a single crack appeared — the thermal shock resistance is legit. The 3-inch width gives me plenty of room to stir the melt without spilling over the edge.

Madison ★★★★★

I've been using this fused silica dish for several casting sessions now, and it holds up beautifully under my torch's repeated heating and cooling cycles. The 250 g capacity is perfect for melting small batches of gold and silver without any warping.

Daniel H. ★★★★★

The shallow bow shape makes it so much easier to control the pour without splashing, and it's survived three direct torch sessions back-to-back without a single crack. Exactly what I needed for my silver melting setup.
