China Pipe Brands Directory

The China Pipe Brands Directory brings together, in alphabetical order, pipe brands and workshops founded in China. Briar pipe-making is a late-arriving tradition in the country: records indicate the first briar pipe makers became visible in 2007, and in the years since, both freehand workshops following the Danish line and manufacturers geared toward series production have been established.

As a local feature, buckthorn (Rhamnus) wood, native to northern China, is used as a body material alternative to briar. The entries below simply summarize the facts on record.
