Dogabi Oil Lamp No. 887 is a one-of-a-kind hand-thrown porcelain oil lamp with 23.5k gold detailing and glazed faceted horns.
Thrown on the wheel and sculpted by hand, this guardian carries a darker presence. Deep charcoal glaze moves across the porcelain body, interrupted by electric blue brows and high-gloss, tortoiseshell-toned horns — glazed and faceted, not gold. The gold appears where it matters: teeth, eyes, and crown — precise accents in British 23.5k.
When lit, the flame rises from the top like a quiet warning. Sculpture becomes ritual object.

THE ARTIST
Dogabi reinterprets the Korean goblin — neither villain nor saint, but a complex guardian spirit known for exposing weakness and rewarding courage. These pieces function as contemporary talismans: sculptural, expressive, and alive when lit.
No. 887 does not whisper. It watches.
