Abstract
A candle holder to support a candle on its side so that both ends of the candle, which include an exposed wick, can be simultaneously burned. The candle holder includes a base having an upper surface that is adapted to support the candle. The candle holder may also include a pair of drip plates extending from opposite ends of the base to underlie the ends of the candle and catch wax drippings from the candle. The drip plates may include wells that hold the wax drippings. When embodied as a novelty item, the candle holder may support an actual or a simulated candle that may be configured to have the appearance that it can be or has been burned. Actual or simulated wax drippings may be disposed on the drip plates to enhance the appearance that the candle has been burned.
