My husband came home many years ago bearing this very old antique samovar knowing how I loved antique things as a gift. In the right lower corner is the actual photo of my samovar which I extracted and scrapped. Coal but generally pine cones were used to heat up the water in the samovar. It was almost ritualistic to sit by the samovar...enjoy a hot cup of tea and chat with good company.

Thank you for your kind comments and support.
