About the Item

This 1920s French foundry crucible is a striking industrial artifact repurposed as sculptural decor. Originally used in metal casting, the piece is crafted from heavy, heat-resistant ceramic with a deeply textured, fire-patinated surface that ranges from earthy browns to charred blacks. Its thick, rounded form and raw finish bear the marks of intense use, evoking the grit and craftsmanship of early 20th-century industrial processes. With its minimalist silhouette and authentic character, this crucible makes a compelling statement as a vessel, planter, or standalone objet d’art in modern, wabi-sabi, or loft-style interiors.
