The appearance of the clawfoot tub can be dated as far back as 1883. Prior to this, bathtubs were made of crude materials and were not very easy to clean. Cast iron bathtubs were the norm but they were not very user friendly. The National Public Health Act was passed in 1848, creating a code for plumbing in the US. Then in 1883, started the practice of enameling the cast iron bathtubs to give them a smoother finish. This would make the bath tub better to use and to clean. Thus was designed the first ever clawfoot tub.
