Could anyone help date this jelly mould?

Dear all. I've recently purchased this jelly mould. It's salt glazed approx 4.5 inches by 3.5 inches and features a carnation pattern when turned out. It has '56' impressed but no other marks. I've got an inkling it's 18th century. Has anyone seen anything else like this before? Thanks in advance for your help. Joss.

Just my opinion - I don't think it is salt glazed. I'm afraid I think it is very badly stained white ironstone and unlikely to be 18th century.
