We name the maker
Every product page lists the workshop, the city and the technique. Nothing anonymous, nothing mass-produced.
Eastern living · delivered worldwide
Qi House brings incense, tea, jade and studio craft from named makers across China to your door — and writes down who made each piece, from what, and how to live with it.
Selected this season
Small batch, made to order or made by hand — when a piece sells out it usually takes a few weeks to come back.
Browse by category
Each category is small on purpose. We would rather carry ten pieces we can stand behind than a thousand we cannot.
Censers, sticks, agarwood, tools for the daily ritual.
02Zisha pots, gongfu sets, cups thin enough to drink from straight away.
03Jade, silver, filigree — pieces worn every day rather than kept in a box.
04Celadon, woven bamboo, studio pieces for a desk or a shelf.
05Sun-dyed silk, hand-loom brocade, scarves and robes.
06Singing bowls and stones — quiet objects with a long resonance.
What you can count on
Buying craft from the other side of the world takes trust. These are the four things we hold ourselves to.
Every product page lists the workshop, the city and the technique. Nothing anonymous, nothing mass-produced.
Clay, stone, fibre and metal are stated plainly — grade, origin, and what it is not.
Double-boxed, cushioned and insured. If it arrives damaged we replace it, not refund it.
Change your mind within 30 days of delivery and send it back. We cover return shipping on our mistakes.
In their words
Reviews come from verified orders and are published as written, including the critical ones.
"Burns clean and the sweetness is real, not perfumed. I use one stick every evening now."
Marcus L. · Portland, United States
"Pours without a single drip. After two months the inside has taken on colour."
Daniel R. · Bristol, United Kingdom
"The glaze shifts between grey and green depending on the light. I bought a second one for my sister."
Thomas H. · Utrecht, Netherlands
Qi House Companion
Ask it how to season a new zisha pot, what to burn while working, or which jade suits a first gift. It answers for the object in front of you.
Tell me what you already own, and I will tell you what goes with it.
Step-by-step instructions for your exact piece, in your language, whenever you need them.
Tell it the occasion and the person; it narrows six categories down to two or three.
Why a meiping has that profile, what a peace-knot means, where the filigree technique comes from.
Where your parcel is, what duties apply, how to start a return — without a ticket queue.
Most people begin with a censer or a cup, and end up rearranging a whole corner of the house around it.
