Anyone recognize these symbols on pewter?

I found this today but am not familiar with the symbols. It's a pewter bowl. Any help would be appreciated.

Your bowl is known as a porringer.
After a reasonable time searching, I can't find any info on the marks, but to help with the search I've rotated the image and fiddled with the contrast and colour.
The marks appear (to me) to be a mother and child (Mary and Jesus?) and a Maltese Cross; each contained in a shield, which also show a checkerboard pattern on top.

I haven't found those marks but I think the words you are seeing are "FEIN ZINN" = Fine Pewter. A German pewter mark.
