Sizes and volume of Cruets
The size of each cruet varies from design to design.
Each cruet is crafted to be easily used with one hand.
The Grape
Cluster Cruet is apprx 6 inches in total height...to
the top of the cork spouts. The diameter of the Grape
cruet is apprx 2.75 inches.
The Grape cruet, the Tomatoes cruet, and the Onions
cruet holds apprx 11-12 oz of Olive oil. Because the
cruets are hand blown, the size can vary slightly, thus
we do not post a specific measurement of contents.
Our cruets are very functional and practical for actual
table use. You would normally use an 8.5 or 12 oz bottle
of Olive oil in a general purpose kitchen, thus our
cruet offers the appropriate decanter size.
Because Aged Balsamic vinegar is used so sparingly
the inner glass vessel of each cruet holds apprx 3.5
oz.
The Egg cruet is apprx 4 5/8 inches tall, apprx 3 inches
in diameter.
The Bell cruet is apprx 6 inches tall and 3 1/8 inches
in diameter at the flared bottom.
The Garlic cruet and Valencia cruet are spheres of
apprx. 4" in diameter. All inner vessels hold apprx
the same, 3.5 oz.
Any selection of our Cruets would make a wonderful
addition to the kitchen.
Cleaning your glass-within-glass cruet.
Although the cruet can be placed in the dishwasher,
sometimes the dishwasher jets do not wash the inside
of the two vessels very well.
You can take a small piece of cloth, add dishwasher
soap to it, and put it inside one side of the cruet
at a time. Add a small amount of warm water. Put your
finger over the spout and shake vigorously. The wet
cloth will shake around to all sides of the glass, cleaning
it.
Rinse and repeat if necessary. You can remove the wet
cloth with a toothpick or tweezers to get it back out
of the spout.
After thorough clean water rinsing, you can dry your
cruet in the oven at 350 degrees. All condensation will
evaporate in just a few minutes.
CAUTION: Let cool before touching.
Your cruet is made from Simax glass, a laboratory technical
grade glass that will not break from heat of 350 degrees.
