It is used for making tea. In the 17th century tea was delivered to Russia from the territory of West Mongolia and it was used as medicine among the nobility. Tea was a competitor of sbiten , the most favourite drink in Russia back then. Its components were: hot water, medicinal herbs and honey.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2In the 18th century in the Urals and Tula samovar-kitchens were invented. They were divided into three parts - two of them devoted to meals cooking, and the third one wholly devoted to tea-making. Sbitennik and samovar-kitchen were samovar prototypes.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2There were different ways of manufacturing the first samovars. Samovars were produced in the Urals, Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Tula and later in Vladimirskaya, Yaroslavskaya and Vyatskaya provinces. The first samovar factory was founded in Tula by Nasar Usitsin in 1778. This town of gunsmiths became famous throughout the world as the center of samovar manufacture. Tula had everything that was needed for such industry: rich ore mines, highly qualified masters skilled in working metals and location (Tula is situated only 200 kilometres south of Moscow).fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2Samovar manufacture soon became to be very profitable. Handicraftsmen were quickly turning into manufacturers workshops were transformed into samovar manufactures. In 1826 there were only eight samovar factories, whereas in 1896 there were already seventy. Samovars were made out of cupronickel, red and green copper, pinchbeck, and in special cases - out of silver. Some samovars were plated with gold or silver, but brass was always the basic metal. In the course of the centuries samovar shapes changed. By the end of the 19th century the number of samovar types reached 165. Yet, it was almost impossible to fully mechanize the samovars manufacture. Tools used for samovar making were not changing and by hand assembly allowed for only five-six samovars to be produced per day.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2The highest peak of samovar manufacture in Tula was reached in the 80s of the 19th century. Samovar was not only a feature of home comfort, the symbol of Russian hospitality, but also a kind of a mascot. Among articles of folk domestic art samovars occupy a special place. They are often viewed not only as domestic utensils, but also as real works of applied arts. Each true samovar master always wanted to astonish his customers by his creativity.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2Conservative design and durability in combination with decorative qualities draw interest to samovars of the people all over the world. Tula samovars were represented at many exhibitions in Russia and abroad. Manufacturers taking part at the exhibitions were constantly awarded with medals, the reprints of which often appeared on their samovars after that.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2Tula samovars were spread all over Russia. At the fairs one could find samovars of very different shapes: vase-shaped, pear-shaped, wine-glass-shaped, etc. Prices reduction in the process of manufacture caused standardization of samovar shapes. The so-called cylindrical samovars became widely spread.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2Originally Tula produced coal samovars (the water in them was heated up by charcoal), kerosene samovars and combined variants, the water in which could be heated up by any kind of fuel. Prices were set in direct dependence with shape, material and dimension of a samovar. Simple samovars were sold in bulk. Articles of complicated shapes (presents, samovars made to order) were sold by the piece.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2During the whole of the 19th century portable samovars were produced in Tula. As a rule, they were multi-sided, cubic and right-angled.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2Over the two hundred years, production technology improved considerably. Now presses and conveyor lines are widely employed. Casting under pressure is also widespread. At Shtamp plant nickel-plating automatic line was introduced. Samovars here are decorated by art rolling. The plant produces samovars of different types: coal (of six versions) and - from 1956 - electrical (volume 2-3 litres for buffets), combined and painted.fontp p align=leftfont face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif size=2Folk traditions keep on existing and developing. Gorgeous samovars - authentic works of art - are still produced in Russia. Samovars are still awarded with prizes and medals at national and international exhibitions.a name=bottomafontp div td tr tabledivbodyhtml

It appeared at the beginning of 19th century under the influence of Ural flower painting on metal.fontp p align=leftfont size=2 face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serifZhostovo painting is essentially drawing on metal trays preliminarily covered by several layers of thick putty and oil varnish (normally, of black color). The painting itself is accomplished in several consequent stages soft brush and oil-colors (richly mixed with linseed-oil) create an impression of an energetic and elastic touch. Stylistic development of Zhostovo painting is closely related to Russian porcelain and enamel painting of Moscow region s plants and factories, as well as with the flower motifs of printed Ivanovo cottons and P.V. Lukutin miniature.fontp p align=leftfont size=2 face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serifThe main motif of Zhostovo painting - a flower bouquet - is simple and laconic in its composition: larger garden flowers are combined with smaller wild flowers the actual shape of a flower is conveyed through a three-dimensional painting technique and all this is being brought together by a decorative richness of multi-color solution closely related to the traditional Russian brush-painting on chests and distaffs. Tray edges are finished with a golden ornamental pattern (also known as uborka). The completed painting is covered by three layers of light varnish, being further polished to mirror luster.fontp div td tr tabledivbodyhtml
