About this work

The object, cast as a single piece, has a round foot, a slightly bulbous and baluster-profiled stem, a round drip pan, and a candle pin profiled at the base. Inside, the round hollow stem is marked by four grooves at equal distances, serving to provide grip for the lathe. The object shows minor differences with candlestick BK-NM-2289-A.
