Old Russian Samovar Help to Identify Maker and Date ?

Two of my great aunts were registered nurses working with the American Expeditionary Force and American Red Cross stationed in Verkne-Udinsk and Beresovka, Siberia Russia in 1919-1920 during the Bolshevik revolution. They bought this used Samovar set as an antique in 1918. After returning to the US, both sisters were killed in an automobile accident. There other sister, my grandmother ended up with this set. Could anyone help to identify the maker and help to date it?

 

always nice if we could get some close ups of the smaller pieces and maybe some idea of size...

Interesting that the family story says "bought as an antique in 1918." In theory that would mean it was made in or before 1818.

ya, but that's just a story....& i'll bet antique shops....or vendors....or folks selling stuff to get away from a Revolution........would say and do anything....even back then......

 

When I googled Yegor Vanykin, I got results for Egor Vanykin. Samovar maker circa 1870 in Tula Russia. Thank you all. I guess it was not antique in 1919. That was me stating that. Not sure why. I saw that it was used and do not think anyone in my family used it. I should not have assumed it was antique when they bought it.

 

Hey, you were only stating what you believed to be it’s history! No fault there!!!

 

ok, I was in a rush so misunderstood your message. apologies
