This candle holder was used for making offerings and was created in the 14th or 15th century. It is 47.5 cm high and is an earthenware with an ivory glaze and brown underglaze patterns. The base is simply decorated with underglazed rings, while the body has a floral design, and the shoulder has a simple key pattern. The neck is wide and high, and is divided into two sections by a raised band. The central design is that of a lotus surrounded by foliage. The top of the neck and the rim have a speckled effect, with a brown ring. The rim protrudes slightly.
