I don't think its a candlestick holder Keith.  More likely for single flower or a spills vase.
Its like a tree trunk with roots :o

oh but she's good isn't she.. ;D ;D                I'd agree with the stem vase suggestion, also agree that it wouldn't hold a candlestick ;)

Good one Sue,  stem vase does make more sense, that base looks like 'Thing' from the film,  :o ;D

Haven't you seen bases with creepy roots like this before?
The appear on Richardson uranium spill vases and on their acorns and loads of other Audreys.
(You do know what an "Audrey" is, don't you?)

Your vase is normally called a "thorn vase".
Here are some of Christine's Audreys.
