Since the 1870s, the production of factories has been measured not by poods, but by dozens. Samovar products are widely conquering the market. In connection with the great demand for them and the desire to reduce the cost of production, the samovar is unified in form and decor. The main ones are samovars - "vases", "glasses", cylindrical "banks". They could be found in the families of workers, wealthy peasants, merchant houses, inns, tea-houses and taverns.
