Candle holders are available in a nearly infinite variety of sizes and designs. From the smallest votives to the largest of pillar candles, there is a holder for just about every type of candle you can imagine. They can even be custom made from just about anything.
Small votive candle holders are extremely popular world wide. For these candles, glass is often the preferred material for holders, although there are plenty of examples of metal, stone, and plastics being used as well. Although, in the opinion of many, nothing “glows” quite like a votive candle in a colored glass holder.
Many large pillar-style candles rest atop candle holders that are nothing more than a modified plate. Some of these plates are just designed as a flat surface for the candle to rest upon. However, many are designed with a center spike, which is pushed into the bottom of the candle in order to add a higher degree of stability.
