Did you mention the dimensions and I missed it?

Interesting little item , OLDZ06 .

Perhaps you might consider filling your mold with "play-dough" , in order to get a good pic - for prospective buyers (& just for fun/your own info) of the 'postive' image of what's in the mold ?

It looks like a nice example of an YW mold set ; could make cakes & other do-dads for many purposes (Easter , Christmas , Silence o' the lambs party , etc .) . ;)

Earthenware molds were typical from the 19thC and even if chipped are collectible and sought after!

I actually have one like this but mine has a darker interior glaze color. The one I have is pretty old probably late 1800's and I believe they still sell them in France. They are not real valuable I estimate mine 100-150 just because it is an early one. I might put this large one the big auction site and put a silly reserve on it. I just dont have much confidence right now these types of antiques are selling and its been years since I have sold anything on the internet. Im waiting replies from a few collectors that I sent pics to,maybe I will get lucky and someone will get back with some good info. This one here is large at 11 inch's long and 6 inch's high when togather and laying down. If I get some info back I will post it here.
