Candlestick with profiled foot and stem with a candle pin. The object is composed of the following parts: the base, the stem and the fat trap, which are cast in one piece, and the candle pin. The trunk is hollow from inside to just above the node. The profiled conical foot changes into a profiled conical trunk that is round and smooth after the knot. This part then passes into the fat trap, on which the long candle pin is profiled at the foot. The round recessed grease trap, which has almost the same cross-section as the foot, has a flat horizontal edge, which changes into a narrow raised edge

The round recessed grease trap, which has almost the same cross-section as the foot, has a flat horizontal edge, which changes into a narrow raised edge with eight tilting points. All parts are decorated with fine grooved rings.
