I know there are hundreds of gloss entries for this word, but I'm still not sure what to call it in this context:
Castell ist ein weltweit einmaliges Dekor auf der **Form** Belvedere.
Is it mo(u)ld or something else?
Appreciate any help!

form
Zumindest, wenn man folgender Webseite trauen kann, auf der das Dekor als pattern und und die Form als form bezeichnet wird.

"Swan Service is actually the name of the china forms, and can be found with several painted decoration patterns. Wave, which has an unusual rim shape with four points, is a modern china line of forms used for specific painting patterns. Although not all painting patterns are produced on all china forms, there is plenty of room for confusion."

Note from asker:
I have found lines and series and blanks and forms, and here we have a "line of forms" :-) |

This is only a suggestion, based largely on terminology used by Haviland Limoges. See the following:
A favorite among Haviland China lovers is the Romeo Blank with double gold trim - identified by Arlene Schleiger as Schleiger 304.
The blank is the piece of china before it is decorated - the white ware - with its shape and embossing defined. The Romeo Blank - Schleiger 300 - is gently scalloped with some rim embossing. However, this blank really comes into its own with the variation - Schleiger 304 - with the double gold trim.

1. The same patterns appear on different blanks. (A blank is the white china form before decoration is applied.) The same pattern appears with and without gold edge.

Example:
The Marseille Blank is probably the most beautiful and elaborate blank made by the Haviland Co. and was their choice for hundreds of patterns.

Note that the link supplied by Ramey actually uses "series" for "Form" (rather than "mould").
E.g.
Tafelfreude, Lebenslust, Gastlichkeit und vollendetes Stilempfinden, dass alles vereint die klassische Form Belvedere, die sich als eine Hommage an das von 1726-1732 erbaute herzogliche Schloss Belvedere in Weimar versteht.
Table enjoyment, a love for life, hospitality and a perfect sense of style are all combined in the classical Belvedere series, which sees itself as a tribute to the Ducal palace Belvedere, built from 1726-1732 in Weimar.
