Can any of you mom's tell me what these are called?

Update:

If it was a lamp it would have a lightbulb socket.

I know it has something to do with a candle but can't remember the name.

    It looks like it may be an essential oil/ liquid poperey (sp?) warmer, although if that is the case, it is missing the bowl for the oil.

    A lantern?

    I have always assumed the difference between a 'lamp' and a 'lantern' was a lamp was lit using electricity and a lantern used natural light (a candle for eg)

    It goes over top a jar candle - looks like one made by home interior specifically. Their small jar candles used to have that hexagon shape.......something makes me think though that they revamped all their candles and changed the design, but I'm not sure.............anyways that thing sits over top of the candle.

    EDIT - Here they are as they make them now..........the smaller jar candles used to be shaped in a glass that was like a hexagon..............anyways what are doing? Selling it? I regular candle that would fit could go in it.
