Salishchev Samovar Makers, part I
Many Tula samovar makers wore the same family name, so no wonder many of them got confused and quite frequently due to not just the same family name but first names as well.
Ivan Grigoryevich Batashev
Ivan Grigoryevich Batashev may have been one of the most famous and well-known hardware and samovar makers in Tula
Tula Painter, Andrei Andreyevich Popov
