Celery glasses

Scope note

Vaselike containers, typically made of glass, intended to be used on the dining table for serving stalks of celery. For relatively low and narrow dishes intended for serving celery, use "celery dishes." For similar vaselike forms also used on the dining table but which often have a scalloped rim and are intended to hold spoons, use "spoon holders." For vaselike forms which are often made of glass but sometimes made of wood or bone and which are usually kept near a fireplace or oil lamp, use "spill holders."
