Description
A large Continental silver samovar of bulbous form, with beautiful embossed and engraved foliate and floral decoration. Probably from the baltic area. Hallmark is partially worn and un-identified. Un-known maker. Tested and guaranteed to be silver, of at least 800/1000 purity. Gross weight: 4307g or 151 Oz.
Approximate measurements: 20.5"H x 15"W x 12"D
Notes: A traditional samovar consists of a large metal container with a tap near the bottom and a metal pipe running vertically through the middle. In this case the pipe is filled with water and the iron element ( see photo ) is heated and dropped into the pipe, heating the water, and thus keeping the contents of the samovar warm.
