A samovar is a heated metal container traditionally used to heat and boil water in and around Russia, as well as in other Slavic nations, Iran, Kashmir, and Turkey. Since the heated water is usually used for making tea, many samovars have an attachment on top of its lid to hold and heat a teapot filled with tea concentrate.
In Persia, samovars have been used at least for two centuries and are still being used everywhere.
Persian craftsmen used Persian art to produce artful samovars. The art samovars of Borujerd are often shown in Iranian and Western countries' museums as a part of Iranian art.
