Basano Vase
It appears that beauty can kill.

Cast from silver in the 15th century and produced in a simple design, it is one of the most mysterious and elusive ‘haunted objects’, lacking eyewitnesses to its power, but making up for it with ingrained tales of terror. Curiously, the ‘curse’ has no origin story, no reason for being, it just has a curse with an unknown story.
The vase is beautiful and old, it was originally supposed to be a wedding gift and on the wedding night, the bride was found dying on the floor with her arms wrapped around the very vase.
In her dying breaths, the bride vowed to have her revenge, then passed away. Whether the vase was already cursed and sent as a threat, or the bride caused the chain of events herself, is unclear. But considering that we don’t even know the bride’s name, the technicalities of her “curse” are understandably lost in time.
As time went by, the vase was handed from person to person within her family, yet with each new owner, came another mysterious death.
One family took notice and decided to hide the vase away in a ‘secret location’. This may have been in a family house or buried underground, or in consecrated soil, depending on who you ask.
But eventually, the vase was unearthed once again. Within the vase had a piece of paper that read: “Beware…this vase brings death.”
