Russian Antique Brass Samovar Tea Kettle, Czarist Era 1900 Signature

An authentic Russian solid brass "samovar" or hot water tea kettle and tray have Cyrillic signatures from around 1900.

Originally fueled with charcoal in a central chimney, the surrounding water tank boiled water for tea, as described in countless Russian stories. There is damage near the lower vents of this antique pot, see photos. The tank does hold water.

Measurements are 13" diameter on the tray and overall height is 18."
