    Hello everyone,
    I would highly appreciate your expertise and help regarding this family heirloom Russian charcoal samovar.
    Based on my initial research, it is a solid brass samovar made in Tula, Russia. Structurally, it features a smooth body with no vertical lobes, which seems to perfectly match the traditional Turnip / Репка design. It weighs exactly 2.5 kg and has an estimated capacity of around 3 liters.
    I have attached high quality macro photos of the stamps for verification:
    Left stamp: Features the Russian Imperial Double Headed Eagle emblem inside a beaded oval frame.
    Right stamp: Shows a bird/eagle in flight with the clearly legible Cyrillic text "ТУЛА" below it.
    Base stamp: A horizontal rectangular factory stamp embedded in the brass rim of the square base. It is heavily patinated, but the outline of the rectangular frame is fully visible.
    I believe this is an authentic piece from the famous Batashev Factory (likely from the late 1890s or early 1900s, post-1896 Nizhny Novgorod exhibition), but I would love to hear your thoughts on the exact factory lineage, the specific stamps, and its overall historical or collector value in today's market.
    Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge!
