What? You need to give us context before you criticize something. I have no clue what you’re on about.

Yeah, what is this setup supposed to do? More light? Slower burning up of the candle? Some kind of cheap camping stove?

It’s supposed to be a space heater. The idea is candles do produce quite a bit of heat but in a cold room the heat of a few candles will rise in narrow columns to the ceiling where it will be basically be useless. Put a terra cotta pot over it and it will catch that heat inside it and start functioning as a radiant heater, allowing people in the room to enjoy the heat from some candles.
