About Newey & Bloomer

Description

Newey & Bloomer have been making the traditional, authentic and genuine solid copper Simplex tea kettle in Birmingham, England since 1903. Using the same traditional hand-spinning techniques that were first used over 100 years ago every kettle by Newey & Bloomer has ‘Made in England’ proudly stamped on its base.

Taking over a month to produce, each tea kettle is made from the highest grade of pure copper. The Buckingham No 1 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!

Please allow 3-4 weeks for your kettle to be despatched, as each one is individually crafted by hand.

About Newey & Bloomer

Simplex Kettles by Newey & Bloomer since 1903

Simplex Kettles by Newey & Bloomer is the leading British brand for whistling, solid copper tea kettles – and proudly so for over 100 years. We continue to manufacture in Birmingham – the heart of England – retaining our superior reputation for world-class craftsmanship that is so intrinsically born from our heritage, provenance and manufacturing traditions that have been passed down over the generations.

With over 100 years of experience in the making, when you welcome a Simplex Kettle by Newey & Bloomer into your home you are adopting a beautiful work of art, a little taste of historic England and a dedicated, loyal servant in your kitchen that will last for generations.

How They Are Made

We select only the purest and finest copper and brass and spin by hand the traditional shape and ensure the centre seam is in the middle of the kettle – just as it was in 1903 - thus giving strength and stability to the kettle and purposely distanced away from the direct heat source.

Each handmade spout is lined with tin, delicately curved in just the right places with a little ‘bird’s mouth’ spout at the end – not only aesthetically pleasing – but to ensure a smooth, optimum pour.

All our kettles are lined by hand in the age-old traditional way using hot molten tin. This creates a far superior bond with the copper than modern-day electro-tin plating techniques which can flake and expose the water to copper.

Newey & Bloomer patented the Simplex Kettle design with a whistling lid – an ingenious design concept of the era. The patent was established in the early 1900s. Today, we continue to manufacture by hand to the same exacting standards to ensure the nostalgic sound of the Simplex Kettle whistle lives on for generations.
