{"product_id":"ceramic-sculptural-jar-n0-24","title":"Ceramic Sculptural Jar N0 24","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA monumental hand-sculpted ceramic jar 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. 24, is named \"Huin-bau\" (흰바우) — Korean for \"white boulder\" — and lives at the top of the Dogabi scale, both in size and in ambition. Part of the artist's Jar series, it stands over 12 inches tall and weighs more than 7 pounds. Wheel-thrown and hand-sculpted from a proprietary clay body developed in THR Studio, the glazed white surface is finished with intricately carved dokkaebi motifs: a detailed forehead pattern, central eyes rendered with blue underglaze and gold-fired pupils, and sharp teeth gilded in British 23.5K liquid gold. Two bold side horns are finished in a matte black glaze — a graphic counterpoint to the gold work. On the back, the carved patterns continue around the body, and the natural warmth of the terracotta clay shows through at the rim and base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePreviously exhibited at the Mokpo Ceramic Livingware Museum in South Korea.

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 and clay 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":50693629804769,"sku":"DOG24","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/8696\/8545\/files\/dogabijarNo24.jpg?v=1790969853","url":"https:\/\/takamichibeautyroom.com\/products\/ceramic-sculptural-jar-n0-24","provider":"Takamichi Beauty Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
