From the 1700s to the late 1800s, the pantries of many Americans doubled as galleries of unique folk art: artfully crafted, salt-glazed vessels decorated with animals, landscapes, and caricatures rendered in blue cobalt oxide. Early American stoneware, or “crocks,” was a quotidian part of everyday life, and Baltimore was an epicenter of stoneware production that shaped the technique, style, and taste of crocks throughout the Eastern Seaboard.

Troupe Vertigo's acrobatic stunts keep you on the edge of your seat with a unique twist on Tchaikovsky's holiday blockbuster.
