You mean the odd shaped candleholder?
It's so you could use candles of different sizes from different vendors without needing a distinct candelabra for each one.
It's a genuinely useful thing to have because the small metal balls would always keep it upright regardless of the shape of the candle. You'd just need to match the diameter of the hole.
