samovarnoun
a metal urn with a spigot at the base; used in Russia to boil water for tea
Wiktionary
samovarnoun
a metal urn with a spigot, for boiling water for making tea. Traditionally, the water is heated by hot coals or charcoal in a chimney-like tube which runs through the center of the urn. Today, it is more likely that the water is heated by an electric coil. It is a common misconception that tea is boiled in the samovar. This is not the case. The samovar merely boils the water, which is drawn off via the spigot into a separate teapot in which the tea is allowed to steep.
Etymology: From самовар; from само + варить
Wikipedia
Samovar
A samovar (Russian: самовар, IPA: [səmɐˈvar] (listen), literally "self-brewer") is a metal container traditionally used to heat and boil water. Although originating in Russia, the samovar is well known outside of Russia and has spread through Russian culture to other parts of Eastern Europe, as well as Western and Central and South Asia. Since the heated water is typically used to make tea, many samovars have a ring-shaped attachment (Russian: конфорка, konforka) around the chimney to hold and heat a teapot filled with tea concentrate. Though traditionally heated with coal or kindling, many newer samovars use electricity to heat water in a manner similar to an electric water boiler. Antique samovars are often prized for their beautiful workmanship.

samovar
A samovar is a metal container, traditionally used in Russia, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia, often of a substantial size, specifically designed to heat and boil water for making tea. It usually has a spigot near the bottom for drawing off the hot water, and a chimney or cavity in the middle where solid fuel (such as charcoal) can be burned to heat the water. Some variations are now electrically heated. A smaller teapot can often be placed on top to steep the tea.
