Candle snuffer

A candle douter is an instrument used to extinguish burning candles.〔(Douter ) at Dictionary.com〕 This may be either a (candle)snuffer (a scissor-like device with two flat blades)〔(Candlesnuffer ) at Dictionary.com〕 or an extinguisher (a small cone at the end of a handle).〔(Extinguisher ) at Dictionary.com〕 The term 'candlesnuffer' or 'snuffer' is also sometimes used to describe what was formerly known as an extinguisher.〔
The scissor-like tool could be used to trim the wick of a candle. With skill, this could be done without extinguishing the flame. A small receptacle catches the trimmed bit of wick. This tool was rendered obsolete by the invention of self-snuffing wicks, which curl out of the flame when charred. This allows excess wick to burn away, preventing the wick from becoming too long.
The use of a douter helps to avoid problems associated with blowing hot wax. Extinguishers are still commonly used in homes and churches.
