The Russian Samovar has been on Habbo Hotel since mid-2002 due to Ione, a former Habbo UK manager, giving it out with as a birthday gift, alongside both the Throne and the Holoboy. The Russian Samovar is classed as a normal rare, but if it were in the Catalogue it would appear under 'vending' items due to the drink you receive when double-clicking on it. The Russian Samovar provides you with tea and has been a good, creative point when thinking of competitions related to said furniture. It is also an item situated more in ethnic rooms such as Chinese, Japanese and Asian culture; it is also an ideal vending item for gambling rooms such as grabbers and casinos. The Russian Samovar was the main focus of the Samovar Crisis which involved the Ione Gifts trio of which it is a part of.

Before the merge the United Kingdom hotel classed the rare as a Super due to the way it was released. However, after the merge, this changed due to Ione not being the manager of an international site and the volume of the Russian Samovars that now roamed the hotel. It is now classed as a normal rare.

It was later brought to every other hotel and was released via competitions or was purchased from the Catalogue. This rare isn't hard to come by due to the different ways it was released; with the merge, this meant that many more Russian Samovars entered the hotel.
