Hi:
The the ending "ero" often turns a noun of an object into the "container" of that object.
You put flowers (flor) in a florero.
You put fruits (fruta) in a frutero.
You put oil (aceite) in an aceitero.
You put soap (jabón) in a jabonero.
You put jewels (joya) in a joyero.
But beware: not all words ending in "ero" are boxes or plates or containers. A panadero in a baker, a soltero is a single person, etc.
