History and use
This ceramic cruet stand would have been used to hold cruets (or small flat-bottomed bottles with narrow necks). Cruets most commonly held condiments such as oil and vinegar. The combination of the stand and the cruets are known as a cruet set. The cruet set may also have held salt or pepper. The cruet set would have been placed on the table at meal times.
