Question

Match the following pottery techniques in List-I with their description in List-II. \[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{LIST I} & \textbf{LIST II} \\ \hline A. \ \text{Terracotta} & I. \ \text{Translucency, fine textures} \\ B. \ \text{Stoneware} & II. \ \text{Liquid clay poured into molds} \\ C. \ \text{Slip casting} & III. \ \text{Non porous, fired at high temperature} \\ D. \ \text{Porcelain} & IV. \ \text{Fired at low temperature, red in color} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)

Hint:

Stoneware and porcelain are fired at higher temperatures, while terracotta is fired at lower temperatures and is red in color.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identification of Pottery Techniques.
- Terracotta: Fired at low temperatures, typically red (Option III).
- Stoneware: High-temperature firing, non-porous (Option IV).
- Slip Casting: Liquid clay poured into molds (Option II).
- Porcelain: Characterized by translucency and fine texture (Option I).
Step 2: Final Matching.
Therefore, the correct pairings are (A) with (III), (B) with (IV), (C) with (II), and (D) with (I).
