TEA CEREMONY (2018) Original Oil Painting by Vera Klimova

Thanks for stopping by my art gallery !!
Most often in Russia, tea from a samovar was drunk in merchant families and they liked to spend several hours a day at tea. The whole family traditionally gathered around the samovar, and each drank five or six cups of this aromatic drink. Hot tea was poured into cups, then poured into saucers, and noisily drank a bite of sugar, fragrant gingerbread, or pretzel.
But, contrary to popular belief, the samovar was not invented by the Russians. The first "tea machine" (as the samovar was called in Europe) came to Russia from Holland thanks to Peter I, who loved to bring new items from abroad. After some time, and adapted analog appeared in Russia. True, the name "samovar" stuck with him later.
