Фото 1
The Samovar Museum in Saratov began its work in June 2015, based on a collection gathered by deputy and industrialist Semyon Glozman. Over three decades, he collected about 1000 samovars and household items from both domestic and foreign production. He brought exhibits from trips to countries such as Iran, Korea, and Poland, as well as receiving them as gifts. The oldest samovar dates back to 1600, while the others belong to the 18th and 19th centuries. Among the unique exhibits, one can find tavern samovars, family samovars, children's samovars, 'egoists' for one person, 'tete-a-tete' for two, kitchen samovars for cooking porridge, bulotkas with alcohol burners, soldier samovars with a shoulder strap, and many others.

Visitors to the museum can trace the evolution of samovar styles from the 18th to the 20th century. In the 19th century, samovars began to be made to order based on individual sketches, for example, in the shape of a rooster, from which boiling water flows through the beak.

According to specialists, the collection presented in the Saratov museum is one of the most significant and complete in Russia.
