Weigh the cost of repairs. You decide but no where have I seen a more extensively engraved samovar. Three colors brass, Copper and what looks very much like German Silver. The workmanship is amazing.

Weigh this cost of repair with the fact that the workmanship on this samovar is unmatched in the [hand-man copper] class Kashmiri-like in it's design [Copper/Brass/German Silver] Samovar Tea / Kahwa (kava)Kettle . Samovar (Russian) ( literally "self-brewer") is a metal container traditionally used to heat and boil water. Although originating in Russia, the samovar is well known outside of Russia and has spread through Russian culture to Eastern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, Iran, Afghanistan, Kashmir, the Middle East, Azerbaijan and is also known in some parts of Central Europe. Since the heated water is typically used to make tea, many samovars have a ring-shaped attachment (Russian ), konforka around the chimney to hold and heat a teapot filled with tea concentrate. Though traditionally heated with coal or kindling, many newer samovars use electricity to heat water in a manner similar to an electric water boiler. Antique samovars are often prized for their beautiful workmanship. The origin and history of the samovar prior to the 18th century is unknown. Connections exist to a similar Greek water-heater of classical antiquity, the autepsa, a vase with a central tube for coal. The Russian tradition was probably influenced by Byzantine and Central Asian culturesConversely, Russian culture also influenced Asian, Western Europe and Byzantine cultures. "Samovar-like" pottery found in Shaki, Azerbaijan in 1989 was estimated to be at least 3,600 years old. While it differed from modern samovars in many respects, it contained the distinguishing functional feature of an inner cylindrical tube that increased the area available for heating the water. Unlike modern samovars, the tube was not closed from below, and so the device relied on an external fire (i.e. by placing it above the flame) instead of carrying its fuel and fire internally. This Brass,Silver,Copper Samovar is a kettle with engraved motifs (recurring theme)which represent the cultural landscape . Inside the Samovar is another mini-world where the your noon chai or kehwa secretly brews. In it is a chamber of fire, which is home to burning coals which heas up the entire kettle from the inside. There is another chamber surrounding the fire in which all the ingredients to brew the perfect tea are added. The strength of the Copper maintains the high temperature which is required to extract the complete essence of your divine drinks. This little samavar can brew a single cup of tea and can be used as a piece of classic home decor. Samovar culture has an analog in Iran and is maintained by expatriates around the world. In Iran, samovars have been used for at least two centuries (roughly since the era of close political and ethnic contact between Russia and Iran started), and electrical, oil-burning or natural gas-consuming samovars are still common. Samovar is samavar in Persian. Iranian craftsmen used Persian art motifs (recurring theme) in their samovar production. The Iranian city of Borujerd has been the main centre of samovar production and a few workshops still produce hand-made samovars. Borujerd's samovars are often made with German silver, in keeping with the famous Varsho-Sazi artistic style. The art samovars of Borujerd are often displayed in Iranian and Western museums as illustrations of Iranian art and handicraft. STK#SA23LOCS2DELP-FILE11-2093-2124SHIPPOFFSET 10.0UPSGRND
