Drinking vessel on table may be put away in here? (8)
I believe the answer is:
cupboard
'be put away in here?' is the definition.
(put things away in a cupboard)
'drinking vessel on table' is the wordplay.
'drinking vessel' becomes 'cup' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'table' becomes 'board' (board is a kind of table**).
'cup'+'board'='CUPBOARD'
'may' is the link.
(Other definitions for cupboard that I've seen before include "Piece of furniture for stores" , "Piece of furniture used for storage" , "Furniture for storing provisions etc." , "Furniture item for storage" , "Kitchen storage" .)
