CERIOLA'RE. A stand or holder for wax-candles and torches, similar to the example engraved at p. 107 (s. CANDELABRUM, 1.); but utensils of this description were also made in a variety of fanciful forms and patterns according to the taste of the artist who designed them, for one is mentioned in an inscription (ap. Grut. 175. 4.) of bronze, with the figure of Cupid holding a calathus. Compare Inscript. ap. Maffei, Mus. Veron. p. 83.
