Simplex Buckingham No.1
$379.95
The Buckingham No. 1 A heartwarming tradition, handcrafted in copper
For over 120 years, Newey & Bloomer has been lovingly crafting the iconic Simplex tea kettle in Birmingham, England - using the same traditional hand-spinning techniques that began back in 1903. Each kettle is a little piece of history, proudly stamped ‘Made in England’ on its base as a mark of authenticity and care.
The Buckingham No. 1 is made from the finest copper, known for its exceptional heat conductivity. Over the course of more than a month, skilled hands shape, polish, and perfect every kettle - resulting in a warm, rich, and elegantly polished piece that’s just as much a part of the kitchen as the conversations around it.
Designed especially for gas hobs, the Buckingham’s unique coiled base brings water to a boil quickly while holding heat beautifully. And when it’s ready, it lets out its cheerful whistle - a gentle reminder that it’s time to slow down and enjoy a comforting cup of tea.
Whether gifted, inherited, or cherished for daily use, each Buckingham kettle is crafted with patience, tradition, and pride.
Please allow 3–4 weeks for delivery, as each kettle is individually made to order.

Do:
- Keep water level just below the centre seam
- Hand wash only and dry with a soft cloth
- Clean copper kettles with a good copper cleaner such as Brasso or Hagerty metal polish. Remember to polish the compound well, and do not allow it to build up around the coil and the coil cover
- Use filtered water, particularly in hard water areas
- Empty any left over water after boiling and wipe the inside dry to prevent calcium (limescale) build up
- Copper is an exceptional material in the kitchen and, when maintained properly, should give you many years of service
Do Not:
- Have the flame so high that it engulfs the coil and run up the side of the kettle
- Leave water in the kettle overnight
- Put your kettle in a dishwasher
- Let the Simplex tea kettle boil dry
- Clean with any acidic cleaning agents
- Scrub with steel wool or abrasive cleaning cloths/brushes or pads as this can lead to irreparable damage

This was a gift for my son and his wife. We have had one for more than a decade and absolutely love it. They wanted the gas stove one knowing they won't have a gas stove for 2 years, but will when their home is built. It is meant for a lifetime of use! Thank you for the craftsmanship...it is rare!

The kettle was a gift for my daughter. It is beautiful and functions well. It was a long wait for the product to arrive but shipping was swift once released from the maker.
