Sized for the bigger melt: 550g of gold, silver or copper alloy sits comfortably in this 4-inch dish, which makes it the one to reach for when consolidating a jar of scrap or preparing a batch of casting grain. The integrated spout gives a controlled, directed pour once the metal is ready.

Fused silica is chosen for exactly this duty — high thermal stability and shock resistance through repeated heating and cooling cycles — and its non-reactive surface keeps contamination out of precious alloys. The wide, open bowl heats evenly and leaves clear access to the melt while you work it.

  • Generous 550g capacity in a 4-inch diameter dish for larger melts.
  • Constructed from fused silica for high thermal stability and shock resistance.
  • Features an integrated pouring spout for controlled transfer of molten metal.
  • Non-reactive surface prevents contamination of gold, silver, and other alloys.
  • Wide, open-bowl shape provides even heating and easy access whilst working.
  • All our casting tools are UK-stocked for fast delivery to your workshop.

Who it's for

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Lily W. ★★★★★

The 550g capacity is spot on—I consolidated a full jar of scrap silver in one go and the 4-inch dish held it all without spillage. The fused silica surface stayed smooth even after a hot pour, so cleanup was just a quick tap.

Ruby ★★★★★

I was skeptical a dish this size could stay stable with a full 550g charge, but the fused silica handles the heat beautifully and the 4-inch surface gives plenty of room to stir without spillage. My scrap silver melted evenly with no cracking, even after repeated use.

Stella ★★★★★

It handles the big jobs without a fuss—I consolidated about half a kilo of scrap silver and it didn’t even come close to overflowing. The 4-inch size is just right for a serious batch, though it does take a bit longer to heat through than my smaller dish.
