Ceramic Crucible (Melting Dish) for Precious Metal Casting & Refining

This high-temperature ceramic melting dish is designed for jewelers, refiners, and metalworkers performing torch-based melting, casting, and refining of precious and non-ferrous metals.

Constructed from dense, heat-resistant ceramic, this crucible withstands repeated high-temperature use while maintaining structural integrity. The smooth interior surface promotes clean metal flow, and the textured exterior provides a secure grip during handling. An integrated pouring lip allows for controlled, accurate pours with reduced spillage and metal loss.

High-temperature ceramic construction

Smooth interior for improved metal flow

Textured exterior for safer handling

Integrated pouring lip for controlled pours

Pro Tip: Season Before First Use (Strongly Recommended)

Seasoning helps prevent metal from sticking and significantly extends the life of the crucible.

How to season:

Add a small amount of borax (sodium borate) powder to the dish

Heat gently with a torch until the borax melts into a clear, glassy coating

Tilt and rotate to coat the entire interior, including the pouring lip

Allow to cool completely before use

This creates a protective glaze that improves metal flow and protects the ceramic.

Intended Use

Jewelry casting and alloying

Precious metal refining

Small batch melting and pouring

Professional and workshop use

Not intended for ferrous metals or industrial furnace use.
