I hope someone with better information will answer your question. Meanwhile, here is my personal comment.
I'm a man who is useless in the kitchen. I never cook. I seldom use any of these words. I occasionally use the British term 'cutlery', but more often say 'knives and forks'. I speak of 'plates', 'cups', dishes', 'pots and pans'..
Let me add that I take the garbage out, and sometimes do the wshing-up and wash the kitchen floor, so I'm not completelyuseless.

Thanks clive for your consideration.

Actually almost everybody in this forums has benefited from your help so you are more needed on the net than in the kitchen.

Your valuable time should not be wasted doing the housework and your knowledge is a panacea for all of our questions.

Wish you the best
