Fell & Co. was in business in Longton, Staffordshire, using the mark F. & Co. from 1887 to 1892 according to the TCC Database.
The trade name Porcelaine Opaque looks like a marketing gimmick implying it is higher quality French porcelain, instead of basic British earthenware. The trade name Porcelain(e) Opaque was also used by three other potteries according to a list of Pottery Trade Names on The Potteries Museum's website: http://thepotteries.org/trade_names/index.htm
No reason I can see to think it is anything but what it clearly identifies itself to be. Hopefully the appropriate database editor will see it and add it, with your permission to use the images of course.
