What is a "cruet"?
A cruet is a small container or vessel used for holding and serving condiments or seasonings, such as oil, vinegar, salt, or pepper. Cruets often come in a set, typically with multiple compartments or bottles, allowing for the convenient storage and dispensing of various condiments at the dining table or kitchen counter. They may feature a built-in pour spout or shaker top for easy dispensing and often come with a tray or stand to keep them organized and stable. Cruets are commonly made from materials such as glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or porcelain, and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs to suit different preferences and décor styles.
