SAMOVAR. A large metal urn traditionally used in Russia to
heat water for tea. The container has a faucet near the bottom
and a metal pipe running vertically through the middle which is
filled with solid fuel to heat the water. Many samovars have an
attachment on the lid to hold a small teapot used to brew the
zavarka, a strong concentrate of tea. The Russian expression “to
have a sit by samovar” means to have a leisurely talk while
drinking tea.
