Silver teapot-ball "Samovar"

For the first time, the fire samovar became known thanks to the records made by Grigory Demidov in the register of copper factory products and inventories of the Onega Monastery. They said that "2 samovars with a copper-green pipe" and "homemade cauldrons with pipes" were found among the available items. The terminology "samovar" appeared thanks to the great Russian language and the special way of life of the people. The device for boiling water was called "moonshine", "self-tipper", "moonshine". The name "samovar" appeared later, entered into everyday life thanks to the Tulyaks, who revolutionized the world of samovar art. The mass opening of factories for the manufacture of copper devices has led to the appearance of a variety in the forms of brazing products. It was possible to order and buy a samovar in the form of a box with cut edges, spherical, cubic, cylindrical and other shapes.

In this case, the container for brewing tea leaves is made in the shape of a ball, therefore, the upper part of the teapot (ionizer) is made by analogy in the classic form of a "pot—bellied" samovar - "Ball". The one they say "hands on hips" about. In Tula, they were also called "Persian" — it was this form that was most often ordered for export to the countries of the East: Persia, Turkey. Such a samovar could stand in a merchant's house, where the whole family gathered for tea at a large table and decorously blew on saucers of hot tea.
