Pair of Crucible Planter Pots

About the Item

This pair of vintage crucibles, repurposed as unique planters or pots, 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, these crucibles bear a rich patina developed over years of high-temperature use, giving them a weathered, timeworn character. Their 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, these crucibles-turned-planters provide a distinct contrast between the raw, aged material and the vibrant life they now support. Whether used for succulents, herbs, or decorative arrangements, they stand as a testament to both craftsmanship and reinvention. One has a hole in the bottom for drainage, one does not. Photographed with Eames dowel leg wire dining chair for scale.
