Crafting Bench holding Item in HC

I just died on my penance brand character in hc mirage.

I still had a hunter influenced cord belt that I wanted to use but didn't get to yet. I just finished crafting it and left it inside the crafting bench.

Now my character is dead and the belt isn't there anymore since the crafting bench seems to be character specific.

Is there anyway to get my item back?
It doesn't seem right that the crafting bench should be character specific.

Any opinions or help are greatly appreciated
