The roots of the word cruet date back to biblical mention of the cruse of oil "container for storing liquid" (the First book of kings 17:16). In the middle ages cruet is a vessel for storing oil and vinegar with a flat bottom and narrow neck. However, in the table setting take effect only in the 17th century.
On the Desk of cardinal Giulio Mazarini always stood Croata two - one for olive oil and one for vinegar. This fashion quickly spread to Italy where olive oil and vinegar was widely used, and then all over Europe.
In the Victorian era, the British began instead of a combination of the words "cruet set" to use just a "cruet". So now the word cruet most often what is meant is a set of oil and spices used at the table setting.
