Flying crockery? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saucer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'flying' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'crockery?' is the second definition.
(saucer is a kind of crockery)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saucer that I've seen before include "Shallow dish, flying?" , "Cup-holder?" , "It may be flying or on the table" , "flying, perhaps?" , "Cup holder" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
