Origin? Tea maker? Greek, Turkish, Slavic, Russian alphabet?

I ran across this unattributed image of a "beverage heater" , for lack of a proper term. It piqued my curiosity. Not being a linguist, I was hoping someone could determine the language of the label in the lower right hand corner, and perhaps it's history. Thanks!

 

Gorgeous, Darkwing, wow! Is this in a museum?
The style is looks very Russian to me, so I assume the Cyrillic writing goes with the object. @Figtree3 ?

 

That chicken footed thing rings a bell from Russian folk tales. Not Baba Yar, sometihng else.

 

Is that what you wanted to see larger???? BTW, that's quite a beautiful item!!!!

 

That's description-defying.

Hi,
I remember a Russian story about a witch who lived in a house with giant chicken legs. Goodness that had to be 75 years ago.

that gives me the creeps !!!

 

Greg, that's Baba Yaga. (I got Yar wrong.) Lives in a hut with chicken legs.

 

Often what is called a spirit kettle with stand. …. A unique one at that!

 

Hi OBB,
That was her name. I do not remember where I was reading about her when I was a kid. My family thinks I am crazy since I remember so much but am always forgetting my phone number.

Maybe you know it from 'Pictures at an Exhibition'?

 

Hi Bronwen,
I did not know words like Exhibition when I was that young. I remember reading kids books and magazines when I was that young. Would have been printed before 1945

Here's a great Facebook page if you like witchy illustrations. https://www.facebook.com/babayagakitchenwitchrevival/

 

The language does appear to be Russian.

 

Here is a link to the Russian museum that hosts this item:

Thanks, Harlequin, and welcome.

 

Highlights magazine for kids used to run Baba Yaga stories. If people got too close, her house on chicken legs would run further into the woods. I loved those stories.
