cast iron tub

Weighty vintage bathtub

A cast iron tub is a bathtub made from molten iron poured into a mold, typically coated with porcelain enamel.

These tubs are heavy, durable, and retain heat well, making them prized for long soaks.

They were standard in American homes through the mid-twentieth century and remain popular for their heft and classic appearance: The old farmhouse still had its original cast iron tub.
