    Counertop Cruet Caddy?

    Ok
    Ive tried google searching for random terms which I thought appropriate but im not finding anything.

    I have a cruet I use for olive oil for day to day cooking that I leave on my countertop next to the spice rack and salt\pepper mills
    it looks similar to this


    I want a caddy of some sort just for this cruet that does 3 things

    1-Protects it from sunlight

    2-Prevents any dripping oil from leaving a residue...although the one i have is a great design and its never done that yet


    3-KEEPS THE DAMNED CAT FROM KNOCKING IT OVER

    My idea was a simple wooden caddy, somewhat like a cupholder if you will, with a flared base to keep the little shit from knocking it over.

    Something shaped like the end of a horn if you will.
    If this doesnt make sense, ill paintbrush up a photo.

    If I had a lathe, Id be more than happy to just make one myself, but I dont, so I cant.
    Id also be agreeable to anything made from stainless, porcelain, or stone.

    What should I search for or where should I look?

    Ive tried searching for
    olive oil caddy - turns up those metal wire racks at restaurants
    oil cruet holder
    holster
    cupholder
    countertop
    etc etc etc

    simple solution: get rid of the cat.

    Poltergeists are convenient scapegoats, and they won't shit in your plants.

    Sounds like you are looking for an olive oily koozy.

    We just keep our bottles in a high-sided basket that sits next to the stove and holds oils, vinegars, salt & pepper mills, etc. Keeps it from tipping over, keeps it out of direct light, and keeps it from dripping onto the counter.

    well my salt and pepper mills dont ever tip over and i have a little thing under them to keep grounds off the counter

    the cat never messes with those, probably because theyre twice as tall as he is

    so really i just need something for the oil
    i know ive seen something like this before, but i cant dig anything up

    edit
    something like this i suppose
