EXCLUSIVE! This three-dimensional vase is just a vase… until you shine a light on it and cast a shadow on the wall. You'll see the famous two-dimensional illusion that shifts between a vase and two faces looking at each other, almost nose-to-nose. Developed by Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin to show the figure-ground distinction the brain makes during physical perception. Glazed ceramic. About 10" at widest point, 10" high, and watertight.

Explaining it is half of the fun!

These were given as gifts. It was fascinating watching people, one who is a psychologist, who only saw the pictures. No one had ever seen the actual vase. Once explained, it was fun to watch a grin come over their face and see they could not wait to display it in their office.
