About the Item

Known for their heat resistance and longevity, lava stone crucibles were essential tools in metalworking and casting industries. The textured surface and verdant patina reflect their age and prolonged exposure to intense heat and molten materials. Historically, such crucibles were indispensable in foundries, where bronze and other alloys were melted for use in sculptures, machinery, and industrial applications. Their robust construction allowed them to withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles, making them both functional and long-lasting. Today, these artifacts not only represent an era of industrial ingenuity but also serve as striking decorative pieces, offering a unique blend of history and aesthetics for modern interiors or outdoor spaces. Found in France, dating to the early 20th century Crucibles are sold as a set of 3. The medium-sized crucible does not stand upright on its own. Openings are wide enough to accommodate a small - to medium-sized plant. Wear consistent with age, use, and exposure to the elements over time The large crucible measures approximately 21.75” W x 16” D x 25” H. Medium crucible (laying down) measures approximately 16.875” W x 12” D x 20.5” H. The small crucible measures approximately 10.25” W x 16” H.
