About the Item

This vintage crucible, repurposed as unique planter or pot, carries the marks of their industrial past while offering a striking blend of function and history. Made from heavy-duty refractory ceramic or cast iron, this crucible bears a rich patina developed over years of high-temperature use, giving it a weathered, timeworn character. Its sturdy construction and heat-scarred surfaces tell a story of molten metal or glasswork. Perfect for adding an industrial or rustic touch to any garden, patio, or interior space, this crucible-turned-planter provides a distinct contrast between the raw, aged material and the vibrant life is has now support. Whether used for succulents, herbs, or decorative arrangements, it stand as a testament to both craftsmanship and reinvention. Does not have a hole for drainage. But one could be added. 14"W 18"T
