Vintage Russian Federation Podstakannik with a design depicting a palm tree, the Caucasus mountains and tea plantations.
Now a status symbol, the podstakannik was traditionally used during rail travel to keep from burning your hands while holding a hot tea glass.
There is something to drinking tea in a glass - one is able to admire the color of the tea, feel the heat on your lip just before sipping. There is an art to drinking tea...just like there is to drinking fine wine. The podstakannik ( "pod" -meaning under and "stakan" -meaning glass) is a part of that art and its beauty and history enhance the experience of drinking the tea.
This holder is made of a material which doesn't rust or stain and is dishwasher safe. Made with Melchior alloy.
