Characterized by delicate scroll-like embossing below the top rim, this shape is found with a variety of treatments. Tea service items are found in both round and oval shapes. Many pieces are found with an impressed "No. 2."

NOTE: The impressed name does not include the word "shape." However, the mark clearly shows this as a potter-named body style. Registered in 1862.

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.
