The concept of bucket<\/strong> comes from Hispanic Arabic alk\u00faza<\/em>, in turn derived from classical Arabic k\u016bzah<\/em>. Continuing with the etymological route to its source<\/strong>, k\u016bzah<\/em> comes from Aramaic k\u016bz[\u0101]<\/em>, which finds its starting point in the Persian kuze<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A cruet is a vessel<\/strong> that is used for the oil storage<\/strong>. The usual thing is that the cruets present a conical design. These containers contain the oil that is used in different ways, facilitating its administration.<\/p>\n

Analyzing the notion of alcuza<\/h2>\n

Before moving on to the definition itself, it is worth examining some of the aforementioned terms to easily understand what a bucket is. We pointed out that it is a vessel<\/strong>: that is to say, of a small and concave object that is used mainly to contain liquids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we indicated that a cruet is used to store oil<\/strong>. Oil is called, meanwhile, a fatty liquid that can be obtained from seeds, fruits or animals (corn oil<\/strong>, coconut oil<\/strong>, cod oil<\/strong>, etc.).<\/p>\n

The alcuza, in short, is used to preserve and administer oil. It has one or two handles, usually has a long and thin neck and has a mouth<\/strong>, with which it is easy to pour the oil it contains inside.<\/p>\n

Other similar containers<\/h2>\n

We can find several elements that comply with functions<\/strong> similar or equal to those of the cruet. A oil can<\/strong>, for example, it is used to store and dose edible oil.<\/p>\n

The cruet<\/strong>, as its name implies, it is used to store vinegar<\/strong>. In any case, it is common for the idea to appear in the plural (cruet<\/strong>) and that refers to the set of two containers used for vinegar and oil in table service.<\/p>\n

In the case of smelled<\/strong>, contains specific oils: consecrated oils (known as Saint oil<\/strong>) that are used in different ceremonies. You can also collect the chrism<\/strong>, denomination of a combination of oil and balm used for the anointing in the confirmation<\/strong>, the baptism<\/strong> and other religious rituals.<\/p>\n

\"Cruet\"<\/p>\n

Materials of the cruet<\/h2>\n

According to historians, the first alcuas were made with mud<\/strong>. In this way, they were part of the creations made by the potters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Over time other types of alcuzas emerged, made of tin<\/strong>, crystal<\/strong>, stainless steel<\/strong>, crockery<\/strong> and more materials. They are often glazed inside; In some cases, in addition, they present an outstanding ornamentation that is conspicuous in their external appearance.<\/p>\n

Regarding the materials and the appearance, it is important to mention that there are oils that, for their proper conservation, need not be exposed to the light<\/strong>. That is why the tanks, at least in terms of their functionality, must be opaque when they are used to store certain oils.<\/p>\n

A poem by D\u00e1maso Alonso<\/h2>\n

The Spanish Damaso alonso<\/strong> (1898-1990) stood out as a writer and as a philologist. Throughout his career he obtained awards such as the National Poetry Prize of Spain<\/strong> and the Miguel de Cervantes Award<\/strong> and directed the Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Among his works is the poem \"Woman with alcuza\"<\/em><\/strong>, which he dedicated to his friend and also a poet Leopoldo Panero<\/strong>. The verses are inspired by a woman<\/strong> who worked in her family's home as a maid.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
