Samovar

Samovars were vessels filled with boiling water intended for serving tea. They were important in Rashemaar culture, where they were used in tea ceremonies.

Description
A samovar appeared as an urn-shaped vessel with a spigot. A tube of burning charcoal kept water stored within at boiling temperature.

While typically crafted out of metals such as tin, some samovars were instead made of porcelain.

Some of these vessels were crafted to accommodate a separate teapot on top, which would be filled with particularly strong tea meant to be diluted with the samovar's boiling water. In Zakhara, samovars of this kind were sometimes also used to serve coffee.

Notable Samovars
A marilith-shaped samovar was one of several madness-inducing magical items spread by Graz'zt during his stay in the Deep Wastes.
