washbowls

Sinks for hands

Washbowls is the plural of washbowl, a basin for washing one's hands and face.

The term is somewhat old-fashioned, largely replaced by sink in modern usage.

Washbowls were once portable containers placed on washstands; now the word typically refers to bathroom sinks or the bowl portion of a sink fixture.
