Cruet Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
A cruet , also called a caster, is a small flat-bottomed vessel with a narrow neck. Cruets often have an integral lip or spout, and may also have a handle. Unlike a small carafe, a cruet has a stopper, lid, or phoedelia. Cruets are normally made from glass, ceramic, or stainless steel.
