samivar

By Rozarooney58, 15 December, 2008
Description

 The somivar has flowers on the sides that are coming from a pot. Along the bottom of this are embossed small flower designs,. This same small flower design is also along the top, below the lid. It has a large handle with heavy embossed flowers on it. The lid has an ornament on the top, that I can only describe as an outer piece with what is a stem with several leaves on it inside. The holder, which is attached to the base, has heavy embossed vinelike designs on it. The base also has a tray that sits inside it. This has a handle-like piece off of it with designs embossed in it also. On the front of the base there is a small tray that the cup sits in. The cup has the same flowers coming out of the pot design as the somivar. There is a great deal of detail on this piece.
