About Tulip Käerzenhalter

Tulip ass en Duebelhalter aus Keramik, deen entwéckelt gouf, fir gängeg duftend Käerzen ze halen. D'Form vun Tulip ass vun der Form vun enger Tulpenblumm ofgeleet. Ëffnungen tëscht de Blieder erlaben et engem brennenden Zündholz duerchzegoen, sou datt d'Käerz einfach ugezünd ka ginn. Den Duebelhalter mëcht 55 op 55 op 70 Millimeter. Wärend d'Käerz brennt, spigelt sech déi kleng Flam am geschmolzene Wachs a Reideg gëtt en zaarte Doft verspaart. Tulip ass duerfir geduecht, d'Uzünde vu Käerzen einfach ze maachen an eng roueg Heemsatmosphär fir Rou a Meditatioun z'ënnerstëtzen.
