Samovar

A samovar is a traditional Russian device used to boil water for making tea. It is usually made of metal and has a central tank with a spout at the bottom, allowing hot water to be dispensed. Historically, samovars also contained a small heater or charcoal compartment to boil the water inside. They often feature decorative designs and are used in social settings to serve tea to multiple people. Today, electric versions are common, providing a convenient way to prepare hot water while maintaining cultural significance as a symbol of hospitality and community.
