Edinburgh Ladle Maker Please

Help neede. I know the year is 1841, but cannot find a maker.
Could some one be kind enough to tell me the correct name of this piece please. It measures at approximately 100mm long (4 inches in old money).

Sorry, I didn't read your question fully. It's a salt spoon.

Many thanks to you both.
I feel a bit stupid, i took one quick look and assumed it was Edinburgh, and then trawled the sites trying to find the maker. I am delighted to have stumbled across a piece from Exeter, serendipity i guess.

P.S. Admin, i am working on making the shots smaller.
