Constructivist samovar tray

I found this Soviet type electric samovar offered on the internet for very little money


Following some Internet sleuthing, it turned out to be a Tula samovar.

 

As I was testing and trying out 
I felt I needed some kind of tray


 And I went for constructivism



As a matter of fact, I already possessed a samovar or two...
One I bought in 1991 on the Arbat in Moscow from a group of lads, a true Soviet type of samovar.
I use this one for summer nights in my garden or barbecue parties.
