Cup on a hook (3)

I believe the answer is:

mug

(Other definitions for mug that I've seen before include "A drinking vesel or a slangy victim" , "Drinking vessel for one easily deceived" , "Fool - drinking vessel" , "Vessel for a bit of a fool" , "Fool - face - vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
