An authentic
original 52cm high samovar from Odessa. In the family for over a century
The samovar was an important attribute of a
Russian household and particularly well-suited to tea-drinking
in a communal setting over a protracted time period. The Russian
expression "to have a sit by the samovar" means to have a
leisurely talk while drinking tea from a samovar.
