Porcelain Dish
Product Code : SCL-CL-11914
Porcelain Dish (SKU SCL-CL-11914), commonly called an evaporating dish, is a 150 ml shallow porcelain bowl for evaporating solutions and recovering dissolved solids by heating. Students meet it in crystallisation and salt-recovery practicals from middle school to B.Sc. level. Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India, supplies the dish to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The dish is made from high-purity porcelain that withstands high temperatures and resists corrosion from most chemicals. Its shallow, round-bottomed shape and wide mouth expose a large liquid surface to speed evaporation, and a small spout on the rim lets concentrated solutions or recovered solids be poured out cleanly.

Applications and Experiments for the Porcelain Dish
The dish is used wherever a solvent has to be driven off to leave a solid behind: obtaining salt from brine, growing crystals from a saturated solution or concentrating a solution before further tests. It sits on a tripod and gauze over a burner or on a water bath.
- Class 6–9 science: evaporating salt water to show separation of a dissolved solid.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: preparing crystals of salts such as copper sulphate or potash alum.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: concentrating solutions before crystallisation.
- General lab work: drying small amounts of precipitate over a water bath.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Porcelain Dish is supplied as a single 150 ml dish as described above. A tripod stand, wire gauze, burner and crucible tongs are separate items; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Porcelain dishes are usually bought in sets so that every student pair has one. Request a quotation for any quantity; it lists the packing, delivery time and price, and heating accessories or other chemistry lab equipment in India can go on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Enquiries are welcome through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and tender information is on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of this porcelain dish?
It holds 150 ml. The shallow, wide shape spreads the liquid over a large surface so that evaporation is quicker than in a beaker of the same volume.
Can the dish be heated directly?
Yes, porcelain withstands high temperatures, so the dish can be heated on a tripod and gauze or over a water bath. Heat gradually, and use crucible tongs to move it while hot.
Who supplies the Porcelain Dish?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, and quotes it singly or in class sets together with tripods, gauzes and burners.
What is the spout on the rim for?
The small spout lets you pour a concentrated solution or loosened solid out of the dish without spilling it down the side.
Related Evaporation and Heating Items
Evaporating a solution needs a stable heat source and safe handling tools. The four items below from the Chemistry Lab range are used with the porcelain dish at the bench, and a lab in-charge can request them together on one quotation.
- Porcelain Capsule — another porcelain vessel for heating small samples.
- Tripod Stand — supports the dish over the burner.
- Wire Gauze — spreads the flame beneath the dish.
- Crucible Tongs — for lifting the dish while it is hot.
