The body is smooth, shaped like a bowl that widens toward the top, with a wide neck in the upper part. The rim is decorated with a raised braid pattern. The draft opening is mounted on a heavy square base supported by four stepped round legs. The handles consist of two metal plates connected by wooden holders and are attached to the body with smooth rosettes. The spigot is four-sided, with a raised rosette at its base. The tap key is shaped like a branch with a wooden knob. The lid is stepped, with two wooden grips. The fire grate is cast, with three decorative cutouts. The plug has a wooden knob. The ash-pit cover is missing. On the front side of the base is a stamp: “ЕВГЕНИЙ СЕНЮКОВЪ СЕЛ. ПЛУТНЕВА” The samovar was purchased on eBay.
