Sucket Fork

I have found random references to a Sucket Fork, but can only find one example of this utensil. The piece's purpose is for eating "Sweet meats". 

Lap over Edge (Insect/Foliage Motif) by Tiffany





This piece below, which looks incredibly similar, in Persian also by Tiffany, is referred to as a "Combination Olive Fork and Spoon".

And, even though both of these examples are by Tiffany, I could find no reference to either such a piece in Hood's book on Tiffany.
