Most people are familiar with the Rubin vase, the famous set of optical illusions developed around 1915 by the Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin in wich you can either see a vase, or two faces.
This is not the first time the optical illusion has been made into a real 3D object. I found out that in 1977, a vase was made to celebrate the silver jubilee of queen Elisabeth of England. On one side you have the silhouette of Queen Elisabeth, and on the other, the one of Prince Philip. If you follow the contour of the vase, one profile morphes seamlessly into the other. The vase is therefore assymetrical!
You can view a video of this here!
