A candle holder includes a drip preventing and stabilizing cap member of transparent glass descending on the candle throughout consumption with an annular shoulder portion, a central, wick receiving aperture with a lip for melted wax and a depending skirt; a stand with a socket-less candlestick having a shallow, concave candle supporting surface receiving melted wax and receivable in the skirt to provide a wax seal; and vertical metal guide rods. In one example, the guide rods depend from a metal annulus sitting on a outwardly flared lower portion of the skirt and slide in sockets on the stand ensuring vertical descent of the cap. Alternatively, the guide rods are anchored in the foot of the stand and the sockets are in the metal annulus. In a different version, pairs of metal guide rods are anchored in opposite sides of the foot of the stand defining vertical sockets slidingly receiving rods which extend outwardly from the annulus and carry weighty knobs at free ends. Alternatively, a cap guiding ring is mounted, flag fashion, on the top of a rod upstanding from the base, in coaxial relation above the candle supporting surface, trapping the cylindrical skirt between the candle supporting surface and the guide ring, throughout burning.
