Cruet

Cruet bottle, 1780–1800, V&A Museum no. 118-1907

A cruet (/ˈkrɪt/), also called a caster,[1] is a small flat-bottomed vessel with a narrow neck. Cruets often have a lip or spout and may also have a handle. Unlike a small carafe, a cruet has a stopper or lid. Cruets are normally made of glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or copper.
