Let's have some tea, shall we? ;)

В самоварах я не понимаю, не мой ареал. Но посуда интересная, чайница антикварная, чашка изящная, подстаканники фигуристые... а что такое на ближнем плане, ложка - не ложка? Булочки тоже заслуживают внимания. Неожиданно, что вместо лимона почему-то апельсин. И на картине на стене тоже из этого сервиза предмет.

Не надо оставлять здесь лайки. Я воспринимаю их как знаки невнимания и неуважения - "на, отвяжись". Если вам нечего сказать о картине - просто идите мимо.

Hee hee :)

Samovars have gone electric some decades ago, and you can even buy ones that are purely decorative, such as this Khokhloma-painted wooden one:

I was surprised to learn the purpose of the teapot on top, to hold concentrated tea which is then watered down. Seems a strange way to make it, to my British mind. Also in the Chekov stories they were putting cream in it, which again seemed a strange idea. When I visited (Soviet) Russia in 1989 they gave us plenty of tea, but no cream or milk for it.

Interesting :)

Most commonly, tea is drunk with lemon in Russia, although some people do put milk in theirs.

And yes, that is the usual way to brew tea; you brew straight in the teapot, then? I didn't realize ;)

(of course, in the last several years, we've all grown lazy and have been using teabags...teapot is hiding in the back of the cupboard...;)

I'm not a big tea drinker myself...and yes, tea glass holders, hee, husband likes them and so I bought him a pair, some years ago... (he likes tea more than I do :P)
