An Exeter sauce ladle

Here is a sauce ladle assayed in Exeter 1854 (5 inches). The maker EO is not familiar with me nor it seems with my silver books. Jackson's, while not displaying a picture of an EO hallmark, does list an Edward Osment; can anyone verify this with me? Also, does anyone know with any certainty what sauces these spoons were used for?

I can't confirm his as the maker, but the dates listed in Jacksons for him (1854-1857) are a mighty fine fit :)
