Melting Dish for Gold, Silver & Copper — 3.5 Inch Fused Silica Ceramic Crucible

Melting scrap or casting grain calls for a dish that stays inert at temperature. This 3.5" fused silica crucible takes torch or kiln heat without contaminating gold, silver or copper, and its small spout gives a controlled pour. See our bench metals guide for how the common alloys behave.

Fused silica resists thermal shock, so the dish survives repeated heating and cooling cycles without cracking or spalling, and it stays chemically non-reactive with non-ferrous alloys. The shallow, open bowl lets a torch flame heat the charge evenly from above.

• Constructed from fused silica for high thermal shock resistance.
• Shallow, open-bowl design allows for even heating with a torch.
• Features a small pouring spout for controlled transfer of molten metal.
• Chemically non-reactive with gold, silver, copper, and other non-ferrous alloys.
• Withstands repeated heating and cooling cycles without cracking or spalling.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, small-scale casting studios, and metalsmiths who require a reliable dish for melting scrap or casting grain. Also suitable for craftspeople and artisans working with precious metal clays.
