Copper Samovar or Tea Urn TU23

Original, quality mid to late 19th century all copper samovar with opaline glass side handles, a brass spigot tap to the front, and all standing on a four footed decorative base. This gets better when you lift off the perforated lid; the original interior fittings have all remained, namely the small circular lid above the lift-out cast iron heating bar and the central tube with a perforated lid with knob handles. The exterior lid to the top of this samovar is stamped inside for the maker "Wilson King Street Manchester". All has been polished and lacquered, although the lacquer may be removed at no extra cost, and all is complete and in good and working order, and this is one of the best and most complete samovars we have seen.
