A mid-20th-century Soviet electric samovar of traditional urn form, manufactured in the USSR. The vessel features a fluted melon-lobed body in polished silver-toned metal, likely nickel-plated brass. It is topped with a stepped lid and a removable crown chimney decorated with star-shaped piercings. The samovar is fitted with two scroll-form side handles and a front-mounted spigot with a decorative lever tap, all finished with cream-coloured heat-resistant composite grips and knobs. The unit stands on a square pedestal base with four integral scroll feet. The lid is stamped with the characters USSR. The underside of the base plate features stamped markings including 1968г, indicating the year of manufacture, alongside electrical specifications 220в and 720Вт. Included is a detachable fabric-wrapped electrical power cord terminating in a two-pin plug. Height approx. 35 cm (measured in inches against a ruler). Condition: The item is in good vintage condition with typical light surface wear, minor oxidation spots, and dust accumulation consistent with age and storage. The electrical components, including the period fabric-covered cord, have not been tested for functionality or safety; professional PAT testing is recommended before any attempt at use.
