Marks & initials used on ware for identification:

NOTE: There was another company called Moore & Co of Hanley (1898-1903) 
and used a mark with the same initials. 

However registration numbers demonstrate that the shield and the bow mark are certainly those of Moore & Co of Fenton.

Mintons also used these initials (usually in script format)
