Italian Melting Ceramic Crucible Set of 2 Melting Gold Silver Copper with Whip Tongs Handle 2A (Small)

This is a good product. I bought it a few years back for my old workshop. I bought for my new workshop a few days ago and received the same good quality product as last time, however the front of the box was dented and the big bowl was cracked into three pieces. I tried mending it with clay and a torch but it didn't work. There was no way to contact the seller and ask for a replacement big bowl. I'm sending back the handle and the unused small bowl. Upon refund I'll definitely be ordering a new one.

Before using I did use borax the laundry detergent to season the crucible. Heat till red hot then sprinkle borax over not a lot just enough to coat the crucible. Don't forget the spout. It will create a smooth shiny surface and the silver will flow easier.Has been working great. Have melted 2oz of silver in this just fine with a mapp gas torch . Have done about half dozen 2oz pours and about a dozen .25 oz pours so far.

Perfect for my needs! I make a lot of small melts for different jobs. Light and easy to pour in ingot.

Works great after heating with Borax and covering all surfaces. No complaints

Super good quality. Very happy with my purchase.

It’s a simple melt dish, not much to say

It looked more sturdy on the screen than it feels in my hands. Too thin, i think. Does notvseem to be very long life item. The handle is also a little wobilly. I got it with a very nice flame torch and Borax - so i inmidialy glazed it. I hope it will last the heat of MAPP gas. Does or does not - i will update.Overall so so.I gave it three stars. If the handle was stronger i would have given the a 4.

Well packed, just what I wanted and good price.
