Simplex Beehive Balmoral No. 3
The Balmoral beehive tea kettle is handmade in England using age-old copper spinning techniques. With it's timeless design, it is as popular today as when the it was first patented by Newey & Bloomer in the 1950's.
Each Balmoral takes nearly a month to produce with every tea kettle encompassing only the finest copper, spun to perfection, lined with molten tin and adorned with a hand turned beechwood handle – this kind of craftsmanship is so rare today and is truly valued by our loyal customers.
Not only is the magnificent mirror-chrome exterior easy to maintain – the Balmoral No. 3 tea kettle will whistle faithfully through the spout when the time is right, just in time for tea!
Please allow 3-4 weeks for your kettle to be despatched, as each one is individually crafted by hand.

Care
Do:
- Keep water level just below the centre seam
- Hand wash only and dry with a soft cloth
- Clean chrome kettles with a wet soapy cloth and polish with a dry cloth to bring back its shine
- 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 runs up the side of the kettle
- Leave water in the kettle overnight
- Put your kettle in a dishwasher
- Let your 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
