What is a Russian samovar?
1 Answer
A samovar is a metal container used to boil water that originated in Russia. Some samovars have a ring-shaped attachment to hold and heat teapots, while some newer styles use electricity for a heat source instead of other sources, like coal. Vintage samovars are highly coveted for their intricate workmanship. Shop a selection of vintage samovars from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
