A cruet /ˈkruː.ɨt/, 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 or lid. Cruets are normally made from glass, ceramic, or stainless steel.
In the Victorian era cruets were made of highly decorative cut crystal and were made to be both ornamental and functional.
Pearl's Cottage features a collection of cruets on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/pearlscottage?ref=si_shop. They are in impeccable condition and reasonably priced at $20 to $25. I like to group three or five cruets together on a shelf, hutch or table.
