Cursed Bottles
Recovered from the Sealed Apothecary
For over a century, the forgotten room remained hidden
When the walls of an abandoned Victorian apothecary finally gave way, a sealed chamber was uncovered beyond layers of brick, dust, and decay. Inside, shelves sagged beneath the weight of strange artifacts untouched by time. Among them were a collection of peculiar bottles, each wrapped, sealed, and marked with symbols long since lost to memory.
The journals discovered nearby spoke only in fragments.
"The vessel must remain bound."
"Do not break the seal."
"They whisper after midnight."
No record survives explaining what was placed within these bottles, only warnings from the apothecary's final keeper. Some believed they were used to imprison malevolent spirits. Others claimed they contained the lingering remnants of failed rituals, curses, or souls too restless to cross beyond the veil
The Ambrose Cursed Bottle is inspired by those forgotten relics. Distorted faces emerge from its weathered surface, frozen in silent agony beneath layers of age-darkened decay. Heavy bindings secure the neck, preserving whatever darkness may still linger within.
Whether displayed as a conversation piece, a collector's curiosity, or a relic from a darker age, each bottle feels as though it carries a story that should perhaps have remained buried.
Some secrets are hidden for a reason.
