Explanation:
拼花: mosaic
参考:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&um=1&newwindow=1&q=拼花 mos...

圆柱: cylinder, column

这样看拼花圆柱可以译为“mosaic cylinder”或“mosaic column”

参考样图:

上面样图中“mosaic cylinder”玻璃质的多一些,而“mosaic column”石头的多一些,可能只是巧合吧。

仅供参考。

Decorative Pillar/ Patterned Pillar


Explanation:
Generally 圆柱 means column or pillar, cylindrical in shape while 拼花 refers to pattern or design. Mosaic is 马赛克, a type of material which is sometimes referred as a type of 拼花.

I prefer pillar because it is more commonly used in my country. An example is Romans Pillar 罗马柱, is a type of decorative pillar well known to those in construction field worldwide.
