TOY SAMOVARS
We have a special place in our collection for toy samovars.
It might seem like these are actual toys, but they are definitely not.
Toy samovar is designed like a real one, and you can boil water in it. The only difference is its size. Usually, it can fill no more than 3-5 glasses. Is this really enough for a real tea party? So why is it needed?
We know that girls were taught how to use a samovar from a very early age. It was for these purposes that a toy samovar was bought, since it made the learning process more visual. By the time a young girl became an adult, a bride, she could easily operate a samovar and skillfully prepared tea.
