Crossword Genius

Drinking-vessel’s small mouth? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goblet

This clue is a double definition.

'drinking-vessel's' is the first definition.
(a goblet is a drinking vessel)

'small mouth?' is the second definition.
(goblet could whimsically mean a small gob or mouth)

(Other definitions for goblet that I've seen before include "Large handleless drinking-cup" , "Large drinking glass with stem and base" , "Drinking glass with stem and foot" , "Stemmed drinking glass" , "Drinking-glass with stem and foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
