From Wikipedia
Varshosazi, or varsho-sazi (Persian: ورشوسازی) is the Iranian artisan handicraft of producing metal objects using nickel silver alloy (Persian: ورشو, romanized: varsho; also known as German silver), started in the Qajar era. This craft was heavily influenced by the Russian tea service containers, such as samovars. The varshosazi is a type of metalsmithing using nickel silver alloy, and is related to other metalsmithing professions. It was widespread in some cities of Iran during the Qajar and Pahlavi periods; and today, limited varsho workshops are still operating around the country especially in Borujerd in the Lorestan province of Iran.
