Samovar. Kashmiri, Northern India, 19th century
The "samovar" both the object and the name was borrowed by the northern Indian people from Russian merchants. The outward design varied depending on social status and religious belonging of its owner. This particular piece bears features of influence from Chinese-Tibetan artist tradition.
