Victorian Russian sterling silver sugar scoop

WOW! What can't I say about this piece. I had to literally twist my arm to put this one up for sale. It is the most unusual serving piece I have ever seen. I thought it might be from the aesthetic movement, but another dealer thought that it might be art nouveau because of the use of nature in the design, whatever the case, it is absolute victorian gorgeousness! It is dated within a circle on the bowl 1890 along with a mark that I could not make out followed by AA. Next to that is stamped AB in another circle, it was made by the A J Beardshaw co. in Sheffield, England. The handle is in the form of a tree branch with three tendrils or vines reaching from both sides and the bottom and finished off with a leaf. It measures a little over 4 in. in length and a little over 1 1/2 in. in width. I hope my pictures do it justice. Please email with any questions.
