Title: Help with a tea urn I picked up...age? markings?
Post by: leadnbrass on February 28, 2013, 01:29:43 PM

It appears Russian from all I can tell on the markings. Pretty rough shape I guess but I know nothing about it.

Any info you can provide from the pictures would be great.

Stands 19" tall with the tea pot attached.

Thanks a bunch...

It's a Samovar. It could be of some value.

You obviously are,nt aware of the meaning behind "Thanks a bunch"....let me be the one to enlighten you...
.
It's also very common to use ironically (meaning the opposite, rather like "Thanks for nothing!"), so in some circumstances you might come across as being sarcastic, especially in writing...

Not my intent.

Wullie,, over here "Thanks a Bunch" means just that !!  Common term used by most of those younger than we are !!
What do you mean rough shape I think it looks great !!  Better than some I have seen !!  Pretty common style so don`t plan on a new car yet !!  But I like it !!

Looks like another Batashev samovar. Identified one on here several weeks ago.
