Question : Comprehension:

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Blue Pottery is widely recognised as a traditional craft of Jaipur, though it is Turko-Persian in origin. The name 'blue pottery' comes from the eye-catching cobalt blue dye used to colour the pottery. It is relatively unusual as a type of luxury Indian pottery as most Indian types are functional and though often highly decorated, relatively low prestige wares. Jaipur blue pottery is glazed and low-fired. No clay is used: the 'dough' for the pottery is prepared by mixing quartz stone powder, powdered glass, fuller's earth, borax, gum and water.

Some of this pottery is semi-transparent and mostly decorated with bird and animal motifs. Being fired at very low temperatures makes them fragile. The range of items is primarily decorative, such as vases, coasters, small bowls, and boxes for trinkets. The colour palette is restricted to blue derived from the cobalt oxide, green from the copper oxide and white, though other non-conventional colours, such as yellow and brown, are sometimes included. The use of blue glaze on pottery is an imported technique, first developed by artisans who combined Chinese glazing technology with Persian decorative arts. This technique travelled east to India with early Turkic conquests in the 14th century. During its infancy, it was used to make tiles to decorate mosques, tombs and palaces in Central Asia. Later, following their conquests and arrival in India, the Mughals began using them in India. Gradually the blue glaze technique grew beyond an architectural accessory to Indian potters. From there, the technique travelled to the plains of Delhi and in the 17th century went to Jaipur.

Other accounts of the craft state that blue pottery came to Jaipur in the early 19th century under the ruler Sawai Ram Singh II. The Jaipur king had sent local artisans to Delhi to be trained in the craft. However, by the 1950s, blue pottery had all but vanished from Jaipur, when it was re-introduced through the efforts of the muralist and painter Kripal Singh Shekhawat, with the support of patrons such as Kamladevi Chattopadhaya and Rajmata Gayatri Devi.

Question:

Option 1: Green and yellow

Option 2: Brown and white

Option 3: Yellow and brown

Option 4: Blue and green

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Blue and green


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

In Jaipur blue pottery, the conventional colour palette is limited, focusing primarily on three colours:

  • Blue: Obtained from cobalt oxide, giving the pottery its characteristic blue hue.
  • Green: Achieved by using copper oxide.
