About this work
The foot, stem, and drip pan are cast in one piece. The candle pin is soldered to the convex bottom of the drip pan in two places. The foot flares out into a flat rim. This transitions into a convex and concave section that narrows towards the top and finally flares out. The stem consists of a vase, a knop, and a small baluster. The transition from the wall to the rim of the profiled drip pan is formed by a rib. The foot and stem are hollow inside. The hollow part of the foot is turned on the inside, the foot rim is also turned on the inside. The candle pin is false.
