The body is shaped like a “vase” with a narrowing constriction in the upper part and a polished lower section. The rim is decorated in relief, in the form of beading. The base is square, standing on four flattened ball-shaped legs. The ash-pit is double, with shaped cutouts. The spigot is designed as a stylized fish and is mounted with a smooth rosette at the base. The spigot key consists of three interlinked rings. The lid has a thickened upper section decorated with patterned embossing. The chimney cap has patterned cutouts. The draft stopper is missing. An unreadable stamp is present on the lid. The samovar was acquired in 2025 on the eBay auction.
