<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 234448, member: 308"]It's primarily decorative but the idea was that if the votive candle was on the plate with the shade over it the wind could not blow the candle out. You could carry it from room to room or leave it on a side table near an open window without having to worry about it going out. Not that I would recommend using it that way but at one time (before electricity) it was considered quite practical.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
