    I think @Marie Forjan meant "sterno". Although I really like stereo too. Chillin' listenin' to some tunes... drinkin' tea. I could be wrong.

    Do you find any marks, stamps, etc. on the underside, or elsewhere? look it over really well and post a picture if you find any.

    So here's a pretty one, that, as you see, is referred to as a 'samovar' (usually Russian), and as a coffee urn. "Enamelware" or "graniteware" is another term that might help you find them, b/c of the coating or finish on the metal.

    The flowers on the pot remind me of "Polish" metal enamelware. Strikes me as early 50s maybe. But, I don't collect these so, I'll leave it to an expert to figure out more.

    It seems that if you use konfoor as a search term you should find some.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    @Ian Coetzer , did you notice the request for pictures of any marks or stamps on this piece?
