bathtubs

Long porcelain basins

Bathtubs are large containers designed to hold water for bathing, typically installed in bathrooms.

Most are made of porcelain, fiberglass, or acrylic and are built into the floor or wall.

The old house still had a clawfoot bathtub.

Bathtub also appears in compounds: bathtub gin was liquor made at home during Prohibition.
