Subsequently in the countries of the Europe have appeared already more perfect   In Russia the samovar has found the second native land, becoming cleanly Russian phenomenon. Probably, its so wide distribution at us is connected with features of a climate. To be warmed, people drank till 15-20 cups of tea! Recollect even the heroine of a popular comedy film 60 " Come tomorrow ", arrived of the Siberian backwoods to Moscow. At restaurant Frosja Burlakova has asked for a supper habitual " six glasses to tea ". Besides the samovar, heating up water, warmed also a premise.     Samovars in Russia began to produce somewhere from the middle of XVIII century in Urals Mountains. In the beginning their manufacture was mastered by handicraftmen, serial manufacture has soon been adjusted on Demidovskih factories. The first samovars were not similar on modern, they intended for use in marching conditions therefore were insignificant. Later copper utensils began to let out in Yaroslavl, Moscow, Petersburg, Vologda, Kostroma.   Well, and the status of capital of a samovar by the right was received by Tula. The newspaper " Russian sheets ", informing the list of all factories existing in Tula, marked, that " the first place is borrowed with factories of copper products with number 55. They them 34 exclusively are prepared with samovars. Them produce in a year on 381700 roubles, and it is borrowed by work 1200 person ".

It is possible to be amazed only, how illiterate in overwhelming majority handicraftmen could reach (having only the sample) such accuracy at which the details made in different places ideally approached to each other.   During manufacturing a samovar different masters participated. Founders prepared for earthen forms, cast handles and cranes, smiths punched on pressah figured apertures of rings, otdushnikov, pallets. The main expert was navodilshchik or stenochnik. It did the basic part of a samovar - tulovo. On special figured anvils-¬«íÙ½¿¡áÕ from the soldered copper sheets forged samovarnyj the case and two smaller cylinders, forming an internal jug. That copper has not bursted at kovke, preparation burnt in In the beginning samovars did exclusively of red copper, and then began to use cheaper alloys of type of a brass. Though histories are known also silver samovars, and even gold, red (pure) copper - to the metal possessing exclusive heat conductivity, - preferred.
