Crockery may be flying! (6)

I believe the answer is:

saucer

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'may be flying' is the second definition.
(flying saucer)

(Other definitions for saucer that I've seen before include "Cup's partner?" , "flying, perhaps?" , "If flying, it would have alien pilots" , "Piece of tableware, goes with cup" , "less than a plate?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
