This enormous and solid Russian Santa carries a traditional samovar against his shoulder. The history of the samovar
goes back centuries in Russia. It literally means self boiler and heats water used to make tea. It was heated using
charcoal or coal, although today's modern samovars use electricity. It may have been introduced into Russian from
West Mongolia in the 17th century. Then in the 18th century, devices that were similar to the samovar appeared. It was
essentially a teapot with a metal tube inside and was heated by the charcoal so that the water inside stayed hot for the
tea. The Russian tradition of tea-drinking began and the samovar became very popular. Samovar manufacturing and
craftsmanship of very ornate and beautiful samovars began to profligate. Samovars could be made from metal, silver or
brass. Folk traditions continue today and samovars still are manufactured and used in Russia.
