tulipa de vidrio Explanation: I'm not a 100% sure, but I think it refers to those glass "containers" into which candles are put. So this would be a candle holder with a golden plated base, and probably one or two glass containers (shades) for putting the candles. I have lots of them at home because I love candles!! |
