         4 . A candleholder according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the receiving body has a central receiving chamber, and an annular chamber arranged concentrically to the receiving chamber with an outer shell wall and an inner shell wall, wherein the annular chamber is U-shaped in cross-section and is limited at a lower axial end by the stacking base and is limited at an upper axial end has an annularly shaped access opening.   
     
     
         5 . A candleholder according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the annular chamber serves to receive an annularly shaped ballast device.   
     
     
         6 . A candleholder according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the envelope body is arranged on the receiving body so such that the receiving body, along with a peripheral rim of the stacking base, protrudes beyond a bottom edge of the envelope shell.   
     
     
         7 . A candleholder according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the envelope body is provided with an inside-lying locking edge arranged on the bottom edge of the envelope shell, wherein the locking edge makes possible locking of the envelope body to the receiving body with a corresponding locking device arranged on a peripheral surface of the receiving body.   
     
     
         8 . A candleholder according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the envelope body, with a bottom edge of the envelope border, rest on an annularly shaped shoulder on the inner rim of the receiving opening of the receiving body.   
     
     
         9 . A candleholder according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the receiving body is provided with a beaker insert insertable into the receiving opening.   
     
     
         10 . A candleholder according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the beaker insert has a flange-shaped beaker rim that which rests on an annularly shaped shoulder on the inner rim of the receiving opening.   
     
     
         11 . A candleholder according to  claim 10 , wherein
 the envelope body rests with a bottom edge of the envelope border on the beaker rim.   
     
     
         12 . A candleholder according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the beaker insert is manufactured from a sheet metal blank.   
     
     
         13 . A candleholder according to  claim 2 , wherein the envelope body is manufactured from a sheet metal blank and the receiving body is manufactured from a plastic material. 
     
     
         14 . A candleholder according to  claim 2 , wherein the receiving body has a central receiving chamber, and an annular chamber arranged concentrically to the receiving chamber with an outer shell wall and an inner shell wall, wherein the annular chamber is U-shaped in cross-section and is limited at a lower axial end by the stacking base and is limited at an upper axial end has an annularly shaped access opening. 
     
     
         15 . A candleholder according to  claim 3 , wherein the receiving body has a central receiving chamber, and an annular chamber arranged concentrically to the receiving chamber with an outer shell wall and an inner shell wall, wherein the annular chamber is U-shaped in cross-section and is limited at a lower axial end by the stacking base and is limited at an upper axial end has an annularly shaped access opening.
