Kalchugino Metal Works USSR Coat of Arms Classic Russian Tea Glass Holder/Russian Podstakannik for Hot or Cold Liquids

Very well made, looks great!

THIS IS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE BEST RUSSIAN PODSTAKANNIK I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. IT IS VERY SOLID, STURDY AND WITH EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! TO THE SELLER I SAY, 'BOL'SHOYE SPASIBO!!!---THIS IS AN ITEM THAT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF MY RUSSIAN-AMERICAN GRANDFATHER, DRINKING OUR TEA TOGETHER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!! FROM A SELLER YOU CAN DEFINITELY TRUST!!!---ALAN TRACHTEN

Amazing product. In case to use it, you need to buy Russian Traditional Granyoniy Paneled Hot Tea Glass, 7 oz, for Metal Holder Podstakannik. Enjoy!

Not only this holder fulfills its function, but it is so beautifully crafted that becomes a work of art. Owning it is a pleasure. [You may check how it looks in my pic]. One worry I have is that the area that's in direct contact with the glass, around and under it, and the handle are becoming darler with each use. Instead of its original silver color it is turning black.Rubbing it with an onion doesn't clear the darkening caused by heat. (Cleaning tip received from seller)

Beautifully done

Had been wanting to gift this for a long time, it was great! Beer & soda cans also fit in it, so it's versatile as well (like a fancy beer cozy). Love it!

Just as advertised. Well made.

Was skeptical at first to purchase this because of reviews in general about this item but it is AWESOME and will definitely buy again!! Packaged great and great quality. No rust, and the finish on the metal is not washing away or anything. Such a great item! And yes very sturdy!
