{"product_id":"ceramic-incense-burner-no-245","title":"Ceramic Incense Burner No 245","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA hand-sculpted porcelain incense burner and lamp from Dogabi — a South Korean ceramic studio whose entire output is built around a single figure: the dokkaebi, or Korean goblin. In Korean folklore, the dokkaebi is not a villain. It is a guardian — a protector of the home, a bringer of abundance, a creature that lives in the space between the frightening and the familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis piece, No. 245, is wheel-thrown and hand-sculpted in white porcelain, glazed in deep oxblood and bronze that pools and shifts across the surface like molten copper. A small silver spout rises from the crown. Three deep-set eyes — two with silver pupils, a third silver stud at the center of the forehead — stare out beneath a heavy brow. A broad snout with dual nostrils sits above a wide-open mouth lined with a full row of silver-fired teeth. Silver, rather than the gold used across most of the Dogabi collection, gives this piece a cooler, moonlit character against the warm reddish glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe upper section is designed with hollow ventilation parts in the lid: the scent of incense diffuses subtly through the top as well as the mouth, so the whole head breathes. Includes a holder and lid. Fired at 2,282°F with oxidation glaze firing, then re-fired at 1,472°F for the silver. Each piece is one of a kind; no two Dogabi are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWHY IT'S SPECIAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery piece is unique: wheel-thrown and hand-sculpted individually by ceramic artist Hyung Jun Kim — no two are the same face, the same glaze, the same expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a holder and lid: the upper section has hollow ventilation that allows smoke to diffuse through the lid as well as the mouth. The whole head releases scent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver-fired pupils, forehead stud, and teeth: re-fired at 1,472°F for a cool metallic finish — a rare colorway in the Dogabi collection, where gold usually prevails.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxblood and bronze glaze: deep, molten, and shifting — reads like warm copper caught in low light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogabi looks more mysterious and energetic when a light glows and smoke rises by itself, creating a special atmosphere in the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDokkaebi mythology: an old Korean word for goblin — traditionally a guardian of the home and a symbol of abundance, not a monster.

The studio's work spans functional objects and one-of-a-kind sculpture, but the Dogabi series is its most singular obsession: every piece is a new version of the same figure — the dokkaebi of Korean folklore, reimagined in porcelain each time. The dokkaebi has been part of Korean imagination for centuries, appearing as guardian, trickster, monster, and protector depending on who is telling the story. Kim's versions are all of these at once. Each is numbered, each is different, and none come back once they're gone. In October 2025, Takamichi Beauty Room hosted an exhibition with the artist, covered by T Magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOGABI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50693747540193,"sku":"DOG245","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/8696\/8545\/files\/dogabiincenseburner245good.jpg?v=1790970715","url":"https:\/\/takamichibeautyroom.com\/products\/ceramic-incense-burner-no-245","provider":"Takamichi Beauty Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
