Dogabi Oil Lamp No. 878 is a one-of-a-kind hand-thrown porcelain oil lamp in pale mineral blue glaze with 23.5k gold detailing.
Thrown on the wheel and sculpted by hand, this guardian carries a quieter presence. The glaze moves between soft powder blue, warm sand, and subtle grey undertones, creating a layered, almost weathered surface. Gold horns, teeth, and third eye punctuate the calm with precise contrast.
When lit, the flame rises from the crown and the piece shifts from sculptural form to ritual object. Restrained in tone. Steady in character.

Dogabi reimagines the Korean goblin as a contemporary ceramic guardian — expressive, mischievous, protective. Each oil lamp bridges folklore and functional art, designed to live both as sculpture and usable object.
No. 878 does not shout. It endures.
