The present invention relates to a lamp including a hollow body, in particular a glass cylinder, which accommodates a light source. The object of the present invention is to devise a lamp using simple means which is usable both for light sources with open flame and for electrically operated light sources, which is manufacturable in one piece, and whose emitted color and decoration can be changed in a quick and simple manner. The inner hollow body is surrounded by an outer hollow body, and both hollow bodies are interconnected at their top ends. The inner hollow body is shorter than the outer hollow body and carries an inwardly directed rim. The two hollow bodies may be composed of transparent glass which is smooth on the inside and on the outside. This lamp, which is composed of two hollow bodies and in which the shorter inner cylinder is arranged axially parallel or coaxially inside the outer cylinder, does not require a base since the function thereof is taken on by the lower part of the longer outer cylinder. The inwardly directed rim of the shorter inner hollow body constitutes a support for a candle inserted from above.
