Thank You. I did ask if in the mark I posted there was any indication of year.
I went on many websites after my post of the picture of the Pot. I found out TULA is best known for its Armament industry. Since the early 1700 it has had the reputation for weapons. It still does today.

I will post most of the site I visited as perhaps there is one that is of interest to someone.

I found a Jewish ritual item very similar in shape and it had a lid, but was also in silver.
It is called an Esrog box and had the same shape but with four legs

Stamp of the Petrov company from Tula: There were two branches bearing this name, one belonged to Yekaterina Ivanovna Petrova, whose branch was founded in 1850, and one to Yekaterina Petrova, founded in 1879 (maybe they were mother and daughter?). I can't tell from viewing the stamp by which of the branches it was used.
THIS MARK IS VERY, VERY SIMILAR TO MY MARK

V. Seals & Marks

Seals: Samovar producers generally stamp their name, company hallmark, and exhibition awards on the samovars. Like other state-owned objects d'art, the tsar had his portrait and the double-headed imperial eagle seal stamped on state-owned samovars. Occasionally, seals can be helpful in approximately dating samovars. An excellent photographic illustration of samovar company seals can be found here.

Award seals for workmanship or artistic ability are helpful in dating samovars. Many seals showcase international exposition awards (such as "London International Universal Exhibition, 1897" or "Exposition Universal, France 1900"). If no dates appear, the most recent czar depicted can provide an approximate date:

1801-1825 Alexander I
1825-1855 Nicholas I
1855-1881 Alexander II
1881-1894 Alexander III
1894-1917 Nicholas II

Marks: The Russian silver standard is recognized by the numbers 84, 88, and 91: zolotniks found per 96 zolotniks (or a pound) of pure silver (gold is similarly represented by 56, 72, and 96). Russian silver generally has 4 marks: the maker's initials or name, the silver-testing city's coat-of-arms, the assayer's initials, and the pure silver proportion as stated above.

The kokoshnik headdress remains the Russian mark for both gold and silver objects in the twentieth century. Previously, Moscow-made objects had an St.George and Dragon mark. Likewise, St. Petersburg had a double-headed eagle until 1742 when it was replace by the new city arms (scepter with two crossed anchors). Those that have no marks may have either been made in rural workshops or polished off. Finally, samovars bearing a craftsman's mark are more rare than factory-made models.
