Title
Post Medieval fork (utensil)
Description
English: A copper alloy fork, probably a toasting fork or other cooking utensil. It has a long tapering socket, now flattened, in which the wooden handle would have fitting. The socket has a longitudinal seam and a rivet hole at the attachment end. At the terminal is a three pronged fork head. The central tine is missing, broken off, and the other two are both badly bent. The tines and cross bar are circular in section. The metal has a smooth patchy green patina. There are similarities to skimmer handles which have been recorded on the database, such as <a title="View details for HAMP-539ED6" href="http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/468250">HAMP-539ED6</a>. Though forks were not used a eating utensils until the seventeenth century, they would have been in use in the kitchen for longer.
