Melt larger batches of precious metal with this 6-inch fused silica ceramic crucible dish, designed for high-temperature casting applications.

What it does

This robust crucible dish handles substantial melts up to 1000g, ideal for professional casting. Its fused silica ceramic construction offers excellent thermal shock resistance and is non-reactive with gold, silver, and copper alloys. The thick walls ensure consistent heat distribution, while the integrated pouring spout provides controlled metal flow for clean, precise castings. It withstands repeated heating and cooling cycles common in torch or kiln work.

How to use it

  • Preheat crucible slowly before introducing metal.
  • Pour molten metal carefully using the formed spout.
  • Allow to cool fully before handling or cleaning.

Who it's for

This larger capacity crucible is a workhorse for professional UK jewellers, silversmiths, and small-scale casting houses. It’s essential for those moving beyond small individual pieces to batch production or larger commissions, replacing smaller crucibles for efficiency.

Emma ★★★★★

This crucible handled my 1000g batch of sterling without any cracking or warping issues. The 6-inch size is perfect for larger pours and the fused silica material seems very durable.

Julian ★★★★★

I was honestly nervous about warping a cheaper dish, but the fused silica held up beautifully at full heat and the 6-inch size handled my entire 1000g melt with room to spare. Clean release every time so far, no cracks or pitting after three heavy uses.

Owen Z. ★★★★★

Finally got to melt a full 1000g batch of scrap silver without the dish cracking, and the fused silica held up beautifully at high heat. The 6-inch size gives you plenty of room to stir without spilling, which I didn't expect for the price.
