PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crucible with which the bottom part of a seed crystal can be sufficiently cooled when a raw material is melted; and to provide a method for growing a single crystal using the same. SOLUTION: The crucible 1 is used for growing the single crystal along the crystal plane of the seed crystal of an optical component material by melting the optical component material and cooling, and has a raw material accommodating part for accommodating the optical component material as the raw material and a seed crystal S accommodating part 1E for accommodating the seed crystal. The bottom part of the seed crystal accommodating part 1E has a shape consistent with that of the end part of the seed crystal S. Thereby, a gap between the bottom surface 1N of the seed crystal accommodating part 1E and the end face S1 of the seed crystal S is made sufficiently small and the bottom part of the seed crystal S can be sufficiently cooled when melting the raw material while cooling the bottom part of the seed crystal S through the crucible 1.
