beautiful -- and i am guessing this one would command a good price with a collector -- very unique
i have no idea what it would be worth to a collector,thank you epson 233 would antone know thanks all
had a brain fart yesterday and could not remember the proper term of these types of items -- the squirrel finally got the wheel turn over so here it is
more commonly known as samovar or tea urns -- i know i have seen one very similar to yours and it was around $3500 -- searched ebay it wasn't there -- i believe that one was uranium glass -- anyway here is a website to get you started on your research in regards to just what a samovar is -- good luck

just saw the guts inside -- so it must be for coffee -- some one was copying some one
o my god really,thank you so much epson 233 ill look into it now
lundy -- do not give up -- asked the cw members to do a google image research -- if that does not work -- will go to the library and do one myself with their staff
hi epson233 still cant find one ,but i think the glass is acid etched amber ,ive looked at hundreds .thank you so much im not given up ,
ha bell ,ya it is ,have you seen one like this ,
I have been on this one for several days now at the request of Epson233. I have looked at what must be thousands and thousands of images and still nothing! But like epson mentioned, do not give up. There has to be information somewhere since there was a patent applied for. And just to give you a little incentive check out this link, it is not your coffee urn but something I found interesting and thought you might be ammused with as well. Look at what this thing brought in at Christies of London.http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/an-important-edward-vi-silver-gilt-mounted-rhenish-5261738-details.aspx
Sorry I couldnt be of any help. I will keep my eyes out though and if I happen to see anything like it I will forward any information on to you. Good luck
Wow! $10 is overpaying for something this beautiful! Surely you jest! I would have paid 10 times that and still felt like I got a bargain...!:)
jay how ,thank you so ,you are a big help ,ill look into that site ,ive looked a hundreds and hundreds also ,no luck ,thank you very much
thanks bell ,hi all i added some better pitcs thank you epson 233 and jay how
hi all ,please if anyone can help ,im going out of my mind with this thank you
(Chuckle) Easy now Lundy...Sometimes information takes a while to come up with. I know what you mean though. I have more than a few peices of glass that have drove me nutts for years and I know nothing more now than I did when I purchased it...Im sure that something will come along eventually. What have you tried so far when looking for research? Sometimes the local libraries are a great source. Also the people who sold it can be a wealth of information. I always try to get as much background information as I can when I buy something. They don't always know mind you but that is the best place to start since it is the last owner who had possession. I hope something I have said here helps, and try to be patient. I am still looking (no luck still) and I'm sure others are as well, this just might be a tough one and will take a while...Keep your head up!
ok thank you, im taking a break for a day , thanks for the info
You're very welcome. A break sounds exactly like what you could use...I know I do when I can't find what I'm looking for. Have a good rest and maybe a fresh look at it tomorrow will help..:)
great thanks ill do that
