Hukin & Heath small silverplate pot/scoop?

I purchased this piece several years ago at a neighborhood yardsale. I have spent numerous hours researching it online and have not been successful in identifying exactly what it is and what it is worth. The only information I have come accross is that it was made by Hukin and Heath, is silverplate,  and I believe it was made around 1855-1878 but still not sure. It looks like a tiny silver pot. It measures around 2in. accross the top, about 1 1/2in. deep, and the handle is about 3in. long. It is in good condition with a few minor scratches and knicks. If anyone has any more info on this item, it would be greatly appreciated.
