Samovar
Samovar
A Samovar is a heated metal container traditionally used in Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Iran to heat and boil water for tea. Samovars have a ring-shaped attachment around the chimney to hold and heat a teapot filled with tea concentrate.
History
The samovar was an important part of a Russian household used for heating the house and cooking food, in addition to making tea. In modern times, samovars are mostly associated with Russian tea culture.
Design and operation
Samovars are typically crafted out of plain iron, copper, polished brass, bronze, silver, gold, tin, or nickel. A typical samovar consists of a body, base and chimney, cover and steam vent, handles, faucet and key, crown and ring, chimney extension and cap, drip-bowl, and teapot. The body shape can be an urn, krater, barrel, cylinder, or sphere.
Cultural significance
Samovars are often showcased at social gatherings and used in traditional tea-drinking ceremonies across the Middle East, South Asia, and Russia. They have been incorporated into the tradition and culture of these regions and are often seen as symbols of hospitality and comfort.
