Platinum Crucible: Shaped from Foil in a Hollow in a Board (Morfit, 1849)
A small platinum crucible for igniting precipitates at high heat. Campbell Morfit (1849): "The experimenter himself can in any emergency readily form a crucible out of platinum foil by shaping it with the thumb or a small hammer, in a hemispherical cavity made in a board for the purpose."
Platinum crucibles must be of pure metal and hammered, not turned; thin enough to weigh on a delicate balance. Foil thickness and the size of the hollow are not given.

Make the hollow
Make the hollow
Cut a hemispherical cavity in a board, the size of the crucible wanted. Morfit's crucibles hold from a fluidrachm to three fluid ounces; a half-ounce one is the most needed in analysis. How the cavity is cut is not given (ours: a gouge in a hardwood board).

Shape the foil
Shape the foil
Lay a piece of pure platinum foil over the hollow and press it in with the thumb, or work it in with a small hammer, until it takes the hemispherical shape. The foil thickness, and how the foil is made, are not given (unknown).

Care of the crucible
Care of the crucible
Blisters and flaws that appear after use come from impure metal and bad workmanship; remove them by the force of a small hammer. Loosen salts with boiling water and rub off stains with sand or pumice stone. Do not use sharp pointed instruments on it.
