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. [3]
Here, these examples have removable drip pans or bobeches at the top of their sockets.
