This PORSEM Turkish Glazed Ceramic Samovar, was unboxed and glass-case displayed. It was never put into service. It never had liquid in any of its vessels. It has been tested to ensure the element heats. There is not a single flea-bite and of course, no cracks or chips on any of the service. Rare to find them with their original base. This one was purchased while in Eastern Europe. The electric plug is European. Converter cubes to US 110V household current are readily available here on eBay for ultra-reasonable prices. Let us know if you need help procuring one. Please take the time to inspect all photos. We took great care to thoroughly photo-document. This one is just perfect.
