This is a stunning Victorian Silver Plate hot water/tea urn or Samovar. It was made by the Richard Richardson Company of England. It is 18 inches high and 11 inches across the handles, it holds 6 liters. I have tested it and the spout is functional and hold water. This is in excellent condition for age with no dents.
It does have a few small blemishes to the plating on the base (see last photo) otherwise it is in beautiful condition.
