Peg Votive Cups Clear Glass Bundle of 3, Candle Holder Sconce Inserts, Tulip Hurricane Shape

This is a bundle of 3 clear glass peg votive cups, likely from the 1970s to 1990s, with one large and two small tulip shaped cups, and all three shown are included.

All three are clear with smooth rims and no chips or cracks, and one small cup is missing its rubber gripper on the peg, all shown in the photos.

Peg votive cups were made to sit in a taper candlestick, candelabra, or wall sconce so it could hold a votive or tea light, and they were a staple of home party decor sales in those years. If a peg feels loose, floral putty in the candle cup or around the peg holds it snug.
