== Outside Russia == The Russian word was adopted as {{langx|fa|سماور}} ''samovar'', and {{langx|tr|semaver}}. ===Iran=== [[File:Isfahan 1210946 nevit.jpg|thumbnail|upright|Samovar in [[Isfahan]], [[Iran]]]] Samovar culture has an analog in [[Iran]] and is maintained by expatriates around the world. In Iran, samovars have been used for at least two centuries (roughly since the era of close political and ethnic contact between [[Russia-Iran relations|Russia and Iran]] started), and electrical, oil-burning or natural gas-consuming samovars are still common. Samovar is ''samăvar'' in [[Persian language|Persian]]. Iranian craftsmen used [[Persian art]] motifs in their samovar production. The Iranian city of [[Borujerd]] has been the main centre of samovar production and a few workshops still produce hand-made samovars. Borujerd's samovars are often made with [[Nickel silver|German silver]], in keeping with the famous [[Varsho-Sazi]] artistic style. The art samovars of Borujerd are often displayed in Iranian and Western museums as illustrations of Iranian art and handicraft.<ref name="Bandehy2016">{{cite book|last=Bandehy|first=Lily|title=Tasteful memories of Persia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=09PgCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA170|access-date=16 June 2016|year=2016|publisher=EBN SelfPublishing|isbn=978-82-92527-26-9|page=170}}</ref> ===Kashmir=== [[File:VideoCapture 20240824-200146.jpg|thumb|Kashmiri samavar]] Kashmiri samovars are made of copper with engraved or embossed calligraphic motifs. In fact in Kashmir, there were two variants of samovar. The copper samovar was used by Muslims and that of brass was used by local Hindus called Kashmiri Pandit. The brass samovars were nickel-plated inside.<ref>{{cite web |title= Original Kashmiri Samovar |url= http://www.kashmir.net/handicrafts/cu.html |publisher= Kashmir.net |date= 8 June 2012 |access-date= 8 June 2012 |archive-date= 2 October 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201002144420/http://www.kashmir.net/handicrafts/cu.html |url-status= dead }}</ref> Inside a samovar there is a fire-container in which charcoal and live coals are placed. Around the fire-container there is a space for water to boil. Green tea leaves, salt, [[cardamom]], and [[cinnamon]] are put into the water.<ref>{{cite web |title= Kashmiri Samovar |url=http://www.koausa.org/Misc/Samovar.html |publisher= kousa.org |date=8 June 2012}}</ref> ===Turkey=== [[File:Caydanlik.jpg|thumb|A ''çaydanlık'']] Turkish samovars are popular souvenirs among tourists, and charcoal burning samovars are still popular in rural areas. However, in modern homes, they have been replaced with the '''''çaydanlık''''' ({{lit|teapot}}), a metal teapot with a smaller teapot on top taking the place of the cap of the lower one. To make [[Turkish tea]], the lower part is used to boil the water and the upper part, called ''demlik'' is used for concentrated tea. Tea is poured first from the ''demlik'' and then diluted to the desired level with plain boiling water from the lower tea kettle. The body is traditionally made of brass or copper, occasionally also silver or gold, but ''çaydanlık'' are now also made from stainless steel, aluminium, or ceramics with plastic, steel or aluminium handles.
