display (LCD monitor)


Explanation:
Actually these are not physical viewing "holes" to look inside some box with pollen - I assume they display digital pictures, so they're more like digital photo frames if you will
Speaking about the ceramics stuff, "пироглаз" is usually understood as a picture on LCD panel, not real peephole, for example here

«Заглянув» в язычок – задвижку «пироглаз», можно будет увидеть процесс обжига изделий внутри печи (горна). — http://culture.natm.ru/v-velikom-novgorode-gotovitsya-k-otkr...

Peep holes in the kiln allowed one to “peep” inside during the firing and observe the cone positions — http://www.theceramicshop.com/store/category/39/232/Peep-Plu...
