Description from the seller

A splendid example of traditional Russian porcelain art, where romantic elegance, refined floral paintings, and lavish gold ornamentation come together.

This particularly decorative vintage samovar from Russian Gzhel is made of glossy white porcelain and richly decorated with hand-painted pink flowers, green leaves, and subtle blue accents.

The romantic floral decor is framed by exuberant gold-colored ornaments. The graceful handles, richly decorated spout, elegant feet, and refined gilded details give the whole an luxurious, almost regal appearance.

A special feature is the matching miniature teapot that crowns the samovar. This charming miniaturization is executed in the same decorative style, with hand-painted flowers, gilded accents, and a matching lid.

Together, the samovar and miniature teapot form a harmonious classical decorative ensemble, inspired by the rich Russian tea tradition.

Origin and dating:
The ensemble bears the characteristic Russian Gzhel factory mark (ГЖЕЛЬ).
Based on the mark, it is attributed to the Soviet period, probably circa 1972–1986.
Gzhel is internationally known for its traditional ceramic and porcelain production, where decorative design and hand painting are central.
