Ceramic vases from Japan fill the display cases in this stereograph view, which was made to be seen through a hand viewer that fused two slightly offset photographs into a single three-dimensional scene. Stereographs like this were a popular way for nineteenth-century audiences to visit distant places and world's fairs without leaving home. Japanese ceramics drew intense Western interest after the country opened to foreign trade in the 1850s, and exhibition halls of this era often presented such wares as evidence of a craft tradition worth admiring. Looking closely, the precise arrangement of the vessels and the crowded cases reflect how exhibitions staged objects to impress and educate viewers.
