cruets

Condiment glass containers

Cruets are small glass bottles used to hold liquids at the table, typically oil and vinegar for salad dressing.

They usually have stoppers or pourers and often come in pairs on a small stand.

In religious contexts, cruets hold the wine and water used during communion services.
