I noticed this same mold on page 57 and 58 of Lorraine Punchard's Playtime Pottery & Porcelain From the United Kingdom & the United States

The dinner set with this pattern is shown in English Toy China by Doris Anderson Lechler, page 75, plate #200 and page 189.

She also states on page 142 when describing another set (Royal Star Florentine) "Minton was fond of selecting names and marketing their toy ware..."
