A '''cruet-stand''' (or '''cruet''' in British English) is a small stand of metal, ceramic, or glass which holds containers for condiments. Typically these include salt and pepper shakers, and often cruets or bottles of vinegar and olive oil. The stand and containers form a '''cruet set'''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Myer Myers - Cruet Stand - American - The Metropolitan Museum of Art |url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/2749 |access-date=2026-03-02 |website=www.metmuseum.org |language=en}}</ref>
