In an arrangement for supporting a vessel, which is used in high temperature operations, the vessel is supported from a support ring spaced from the vessel. A reinforcing ring is positioned about the vessel and tensile stress elements extend from the reinforcing ring to the support ring which is pivotally mounted. The tensile stress elements are formed of a plurality of individual wires and can be adjustably prestressed. Additionally, bolt-like members secured to the support ring and articulated to the reinforcing ring also provide support for the vessel so that it can be properly sustained in its normal upright position and also when it is tilted from its upright position.
