agree  BirgitBerlin: Würde ich auch so sagen, ohne ein Bild gesehen zu haben. Es könnte aber auch ein "Ständer" oder eine Ablage für den Kerzenlöscher sein.

Notes to answerer
Asker: it is a snuffer with a stand (the snuffer rests on the little plate) thanks


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Carla Schaudt: Bin auch dafür, dass der "stand" die Ablage für das Löschhütchen ist, und kein Kerzenständer (candle holder).
8 mins
  -> Danke, Carla.
agree  Thomas Pfann: Yep. And if the 'stand' is a bit more elaborate then just a simple plate (ie. if it holds the candle snuffer in some way) then the original translation of "Kerzenlöscher und Ständer" should be fine as well (albeit slightly ambigous, just like the English)
12 mins
  -> Thank you, Thomas. That's why I used the word "Ablage", as this can be anything from a proper stand to just a simple plate!
agree  Colin Rowe
