HOT ! Simplex Beehive Blenheim No. 1

The Blenheim No. 1 A 1950’s design icon, handmade for the modern tea lover.

Handmade in Birmingham, England - the historic heart of British craftsmanship - the Blenheim No. 1  carries the legacy of a design first introduced in the 1950’s. With its signature beehive shape, it blends mid-century charm with timeless function and beauty.

Each kettle is hand-spun from the finest copper, using traditional techniques. The result is a stunning, heirloom-quality kettle that brings warmth and character to any kitchen.

Exclusively available through our website, the Blenheim cannot be found in stores. Its richly polished copper exterior radiates warmth, making it a functional showpiece you’ll love for years to come.

Proudly stamped \"Made in England\" on the base, the Blenheim features a signature whistle mounted directly on the spout - a charming touch that lets you know the moment your water reaches a rolling boil. A small detail, perhaps - but one that tea lovers have cherished for decades.

Suitable for gas and electric stoves but not compatible with induction hobs unless used with an adapter.

Please allow 3–4 weeks for dispatch, as each kettle is handcrafted to order.

Care

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 handle and nuts


• 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:

• 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
