Late 19th Century Russian Brass Charcoal Samovar Turnip Shape - Need help with stamp

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!

 

Thanks

 

Welcome Davor.

 

Welcome! You're in good company here!

 

Can't help, but welcome anyway!

 

Thank you for your reply! I wanted to ask if you might know any expert, online forum, or museum that would be good for identifying and evaluating this old samovar? Any tip or direction would be highly appreciated. Thanks again!

 

We don't do values here , and neither do museums ..... but give us a chance to point you in the right direction....

 

We do point people toward eBay's Completed & Sold listings. That will give you an idea of where collector interest lies. (If you've never searched there, you can find them via the Advanced button on the upper right next to Search.) Do keep in mind that age and sentimental value don't necessarily translate into market value.

it seems these pot belly samovars originally came with a set of other pieces...
So you have any ??
that will affect the selling price..!

 

I only have the samovar itself, without the tray or the drip bowl. However, it is structurally complete and retains its original crown (konforka), cap, handles, and faucet key. It has a very deep, untouched dark chocolate patina.

Since I now know it is the classic "Turnip" (Репка) model, I am primarily focused on uncovering the exact meaning of the factory stamps and identifying the specific lineage or maker based on this piece.

 

Could you try putting a piece of paper over it and rubbing over the base stamp with a pencil or something like that to see if any of the letters can be identified in the rubbing? As you mentioned, it's heavily patinated, so that might not work.

 

This is max

 

Thank you... Very good image! I can't really help with that one. I was referring to the rectangular stamp. Can you get a rubbing of that? Or is the rectangular stamp the one that says TULA?

 

Here is the left stamp as well, they are right next to each other.

 

I was asking about the stamp in this image.

 

This is best I can take a photo
