Description
The Stove Top Kettle, Simplex Buckingham No. 3 from Newey & Bloomer is a masterful creation. Designed in 1903, Newey & Bloomer launched the patented ‘Buckingham’ Simplex Kettle for gas stoves in an era when there was little stove-top flame control. The special coil at the base of the Buckingham kettle created convection heat transfer resulting in a rapid boil copper kettle for gas stoves. Perhaps an early example of energy efficiency!
Taking over a month to produce, each tea kettle is made from the highest grade of pure copper. The Buckingham No 3 tea kettle retains its natural beauty – radiating warm, rich and opulent tones of highly-polished natural copper and will take pride of place in any kitchen.
Every Simplex kettle by Newey & Bloomer from the Buckingham collection is unique and features a coil base, designed for gas stoves to promote swift boiling and superior heat retention. When the water reaches boiling point, the solid copper tea kettle will whistle to let you know it’s time for tea!

Simplex Kettles by Newey & Bloomer are the leading British brand for whistling, solid copper tea kettles for over 100 years. The kettles are manufactured in Birmingham – the heart of England – retaining manufacturing traditions that have been passed down over the generations. Only the purest and finest copper and brass is used and spin by hand. Each handmade spout is lined with tin, delicately curved in just the right places with a little ‘bird’s mouth’ spout at the end to ensure a smooth, optimum pour.

Today, they continue to manufacture by hand to the same exacting standards to ensure the nostalgic sound of the Simplex Kettle whistle lives on for generations.
