A bobèche is an American or French term[1] for an annular device used for catching wax, or for an ornamental element taking the same form.
On a candlestick, the part can take the form of a dish-like ring, while in a chandelier it may be shaped like a bowl.
They can be made of glass or brass[2] or paper as well.
Bobèches are often removable to allow for cleaning.
