pitcher , a fluted sump bowl and a decorative keyhole tray . Made in Zanjan, north-west Iran, a fairly good-sized city on the
Zanjan river. In Iran, samovars have been used at least for two
centuries. Samovars made in Persia during the last 100 years or so are
based on the Russian style of samovar. The teapot. sits at the very top on a special flat surface. There
are even four matching tea glasses with holders.

comes with a plug adapter. The heat is regulated by a simple switch. The samovar plugs into a standard
outlet and the water never boils, but is kept very hot. In Iran, the
samovar goes on first thing in the morning, and is the last thing to be
shut off before bedtime. Condition is excellent. Goldplated brass,
metalwork. Designs throughout of scenes and leaders from ancient Persian
history. Another view without pitcher and
