From the Oxford dictionary:
Hidden text.
noun
a shallow, porous container in which gold or silver can be refined or assayed by melting with a blast of hot air which oxidizes lead or other base metals.
verb
assay or refine (a metal) in a cupel.
"to extract the silver, the Greeks roasted the ore and then cupelled the molten metal"
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
