Poland (Warsaw), second half of the 19th century
Brass, silver-plated
Height: 50 cmA rare Polish samovar of conical form, produced in Warsaw during the late 19th century, when the city was one of the key centers of metalwork within the Russian Empire.
The body is smooth and tapering, encircled at the top and bottom by a relief frieze of small circular ornaments. The domed lid rises to a conical chimney with a detachable pierced collar forming a decorative pattern. The spout stem is shaped with a central ringed molding, while the spout’s bracket features a curved, sculptural design. Handles are composed of paired, upward-curving plates with cast vegetal ornament, attached to the body with oval relief mounts. The base rests on four claw-shaped feet extending forward, giving the piece a bold, architectural balance.
The overall silhouette — massive yet refined — recalls the profile of a cannon, a form that became popular among Warsaw and Tula craftsmen in the mid-19th century as a symbol of strength and innovation.
