Foundry crucible, vintage.

Description

Vintage foundry crucible.  Used for melting metal before pouring into a mold.  Metal might include aluminum, steel, iron, brass, bronze, silver, gold, etc.  Makes an excellent decorative statement piece.  Or use it as a planter.   It has  a dark gray hue with areas of lighter gray, white and reddish brown.  I have seen these crucibles sell from to 5 per vertical inch depending on condition.  This is an excellent example.  Three crucibles available each with slightly different colors.  Free shipping!  Please email me if you have any questions.  Please contact me before negative reviews.  I would rather solve a problem than lose a customer.  Your satisfaction is important to me.  Please see my many fun and interesting listings.  050717 15294
"A crucible is a ceramic or metal container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures. While crucibles historically were usually made from clay, they can be made from any material that withstands temperatures high enough to melt or otherwise alter its contents."
