A lovely Georgian period Old Sheffield silver-plated samovar / tea / hot water urn, circa 1810. The urn has a two spigot design on the spout in front and lions’ heads on the sides of each handle. It sits on a base with 4 ball feet and has an acorn finial on top of the removable lid. It has a monogram “RAC” and the engraving of a bird on the front of the piece.  The original centre heater is removable and was originally used for hot stones to keep the water or tea warm.
