sucket fork
sucket fork, small metal utensil used for eating sweetmeats, or sucket, with a two- or three-pronged fork at one end of the handle and a spoon bowl, usually of teaspoon size, at the other. A sucket fork is mentioned in Edward VI’s inventory of 1549, but most of the few surviving English and American examples, which are usually made of silver, date from the late 17th century.
