Cup handle (3)
I believe the answer is:
ear
'cup handle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ear that I've seen before include "Listener in the cornfield" , "Sense organ" , "Corn seed-holder" , "Lug (colloq.)" , "Seed-bearing part of corn" .)
