Instead, the vase never made it to a museum, but remained in police custody. One way to look at this is that the belief in the curse was so intense that it was even greater than any beliefs in other curses, such as items stolen from Egyptian tombs. Having been lumbered with the vase, the local police tried to pass on the item to local museums, but the legend of the curse put them off, every time. The ticket was taken without question, but they refused to take back the vase. Instead, the officer tried to return the vase and issue him with a ticket for disorderly behaviour.

Supposedly, this killer throw cracked a passing police officer on the head, but for once, was not fatal. Enraged and taking the fate of the vase into their own hands, a family member hurled the silver vessel out of the window. Rumours of the curse were now well circulated, and the vase was utterly unsellable. However, despite the loss, once again the vase was sold and the new owner duly perished. After three months with the vase in his collection, the man was dead.Ĭhinese Pomegranate vase, via the Met Museumīy this point, the vase had garnered somewhat of an unsavoury reputation and try as they might, the family could not re-sell the vase for anywhere near the same amount the archaeologist had paid. Surprise! The vase was re-sold once more, this time to an archaeologist who coveted the vase as a beautiful example of high renaissance work. Then came the 37-year-old surgeon, who died two months later. Supposedly the first buyer, a pharmacist, owned the vase for three months before dying in mysterious circumstances. Selling for 4million lira, the vase once again re-entered circulation and with it, came deaths. Examining the vase, a piece of paper was hidden inside, reading “Beware…this vase brings death.” A warning which was promptly discarded as ancient curses are nothing compared to the sweet, sweet thrill of the auction house. Nonetheless, the vase was not to stay hidden forever and in 1988, it was unearthed once more. This may have been in a family house or buried underground, or in consecrated soil, depending on who you ask. Before long, the family decided that perhaps they should preserve one or two of their remaining living relatives and hid the vase away in a ‘secret location’. But considering that we don’t even know the bride’s name, the technicalities of her ornamental curse ownership are understandably lost to time.Īs time went by, the vase was handed from person to person within her family, yet with each new owner, came another mysterious death. Whether the vase was already cursed, and sent as a threat, or the bride caused the chain of events herself, is unclear. In her dying breaths, the bride vowed to have her revenge, then passed away. On the woman’s wedding night, she was found dying on the floor, her hands wrapped tightly around the silver vase. Originally, the vase was supposedly a wedding present for an Italian bride, who lived in a small village close to Napoli. Curiously, the ‘curse’ has no origin story, no reason for being, it just is. Cast from silver in the 15 th 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. The vase is a pretty little thing, and old too.
