    i through this was a samovar but there is no tap. Appears to be copper and brass and the spout looks like a turtles head. Does anyone have any ideas what this is
    thanks

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Are there any marks on it at all?

    What’s under the cover? Maybe it’s a lamp?

    It is a mystery to me, but I think Russian could be close. Maybe a ewer type object, like you thought, kyra. The gargoyle-like spout suggests water or wine.
