In the late 18th century, the famous wooden shoe bathtub also appeared, which was composed of more than 20 metal parts, named after the shape of a human shoe, with a watering funnel and a draining faucet. The comforts of the modern bathroom began in England in the 19th century, with the appearance of a modern freestanding tubs that could wash a wave bath, and eventually a closed shower.
