Description:

Many potters produced goods in the Gothic style, such as Classic Gothic, Full Panelled Gothic, etc. To our knowledge, only Elsmore and Forster actually marked their wares with the "Gothic Shape" name.

The mark has appeared on a relish dish that has also been found marked "Portland Shape."

Plain Tobacco Leaf plates have been found maked "Gothic Shape" also.
