Sink

The washstand was one of the first designs in the 18th Century using a bowl on a table, however the water was poured from a jug, and the bowl would have to be emptied by hand.
Over the course of a few decades, the jug was replaced by hand pumps for the wealthiest of people, but it wasn`t until modern drains and plumbing that the sink was truly reinvented to be fully plumbed in.
