Samovar is a tea- making utensil, which uses charcoal or wood to heat the water in a large container at the bottom, a chimney, and a teapot on top to brew tea. The samovar's bottom container has a faucet to dispense hot water. The traditional samovar originated in Russia in the 18th century and became famous in Iran and Turkey soon after. However, today electric samovar, a convenient alternative to the traditional ones, is famous almost worldwide.
