Description: | An incomplete Medieval to Post Medieval copper alloy candlestick stem and bowl, probably dating from the late 15th to the late 16th century (AD 1475 - 1575). The bowl is circular in plan and has a straight rim and vertical sides, which then taper slightly at an angle to the stem. There are two grooves at the top of the bowl and a single groove towards the bottom of the bowl.The stem is solid, undecorated, and cylindrical with a raised collar. The stem has broken away at the collar and both the rest of the stem and the base of the candlestick are now missing.Candlestick forms with similar 'bunsen-burner' type bowls and stems are illustrated in 'English Latten Domestic Candlesticks' by R Brownsword, figure 7 and figures 8 - 12 (FRG datasheet 1).
