Dogabi Oil Lamp No. 855 reimagines the traditional Korean horong oil lamp as a mischievous goblin head. Shaped and sculpted by ceramist Hyung Jun Kim, the lamp is wheel-thrown from white porcelain and glazed in a soft jade-green hue with subtle tonal shifts. A single horn crowns the head, while 23.5 k gold teeth and eyes flash with uncanny warmth.
Designed to burn paraffin oil, it can also serve as an aroma diffuser — simply add a few drops of essential oil to the reservoir to perfume your space. Numbered and signed, No. 855 is entirely unique — a spirit caught between folklore and flame.
