The Samovar Classical Nesting Doll brings a bright yellow traditional samovar to the tea table. What is a samovar? It’s a uniquely Russian water boiler, which is still widely used in Russia to make tea. This bright and pretty girl is graciously preparing to serve her guests. She holds the samovar, while the stacking sister dolls inside her carry a matching teapot, cups, and tea-time treats. Back in the day the samovars heated with coal, but now most are electric. Enjoy simpler times with this classic folk matryoshka sitting on your tea table.
