Small piece of china … or small dog size

TEACUP

Think of what you might sip from—or a tiny pup’s fitting name.

This clue plays on two meanings of "teacup." First, it hints at a literal small piece of china—a teacup is a delicate, tiny dish often made of porcelain. Second, it references "teacup" as a term for very small dog breeds, like a teacup poodle or Chihuahua, tying into the "small dog size" part of the clue. The word cleverly bridges both ideas in one compact answer.
