   How big is the item?  Looks like a chimenea, but appears to be small.

Thank you very much it is a chimenea like you said just a simple candle holder, it is about 12" high and about 5 wide at the bottom never heard of such item. Thanks again for your help :)

If it's only 12" high it would be rather too small to be a chimenea. Does the top look as if something has broken off? Because if it isn't a candle holder it could be for scented oils .. if there was a saucer at the top originally.

Actually this style was also used as an ashtray in the 60's!
