She believes the Mould is indeed Rockingham, citing the gadroon and anthemion rim. The problem for me, is/are the shells that are also on the rim. I discovered that Ridgway used to imitate Spode in their early years...and they also have the gadroon rim...but it's still not an exact match.
Perhaps I'm overthinking this...but the pattern is so clearly Spode's, and yet as Pam Wooliscroft said (Spode Curator), Spode was loathe to digress from their established mould styles...and this is not a Spode mould.
So! I think this is still a bit (though not completely) of a mystery.
