George III Scottish Sterling Silver Sauce Ladle by an Unknown Maker

George III Scottish Sterling Silver Sauce Ladle 

This elegant Georgian .925 silver ladle is hallmarked and is in good condition. 

It was made by an Edinburgh silversmith during the reign of George III. It has a George III duty mark and weighs 22 grams and is about 16 cm long.

The hallmarks are clear and include the maker's mark, the thistle and the George III duty mark. It has an attractive engraved monogram on the handle. However, its owners cannot identify the maker.....and neither can I.

Any comments or suggestions would be very welcome!
