This is a candle, which by experiment, the user knows how fast it burns down. The sides of the candle have marks on it so it can visually tell what time it is. Some could even function as an alarm clock, by placing a nail in the candle, at a certain mark. When the candle burned down to that point, the nail falls out and strikes a metal pan or something to make noise. See this clock history, for more info.

How were candles used to tell the time?
A candle clock is a thin candle with consistently spaced markings (usually with numbers), that when burned, indicate the passage of periods of time. While no longer used today, candle clocks provided an effective way to tell time indoors, at night, or on a cloudy day. A candle clock could be easily transformed into a timer by sticking a heavy nail into the candle at the mark indicating the desired interval. When the wax surrounding the nail melts, the nail clatters onto a plate below.
