To provide a core body holder for lamplight illumination in which the core body can be supported stably, and a combustion flame can be formed at a position separated from a liquid level.

In the lamplight illumination body in which the core body holder retaining the core body (7) for combustion in a liquid combustion agent (11) stocked in a combustion vessel (9) is floated, and the liquid combustion agent (11) is burnt by the core body (7) for combustion by firing the core body (7), the core body holder is formed by a dish state floating board (1) having a concave part in the center part, a core body fitting hole (6) in which the core body (7) is installed and held at the center part of the bottom wall (2) of this dish state floating board (1) is formed, and an inside and outside communicating window (5) is opened and formed at a coupling wall (4) to couple the bottom wall part (2) of the dish state floating board (1) and the upper part flange part (3) formed in a pattern shape of a petal pattern and a snow crystal pattern or the like.
