Made from copper with brass tap and handles. Samovars were traditionally used in Russia to heat or boil water. Nowadays, this piece is a striking display item or storage jar. Its simple design and neutral colour enables it to fit in with various styles. It could be used for its intended purpose, however sanitising would be required prior to use. An odd dent or mark can be seen on its body, still it is probably much less than one would expect for an item that is more than a hundred years old.
