Gelatine is in tumbler (9)
I believe the answer is:
isinglass
'gelatine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is in tumbler' is the wordplay.
'tumbler' becomes 'glass' (I've seen this before).
'is'+'in'+'glass'='ISINGLASS'
(Other definitions for isinglass that I've seen before include "What's got from fish" , "Fish gelatin" , "One transparent material" , "Gelatine" , "Some Muscovite" .)
