Funnel painter? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tucker
'funnel painter?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tucker that I've seen before include "little Tommy" , "Best bib and ..., finest clothes" , "One gathering" , "Food (Aus. colloq.)" , "Australian food, informally" .)
