Friar's broken china cup (8)
I believe the answer is:
capuchin
'friar's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'broken china cup' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'china'+'cup'='chinacup'
'chinacup' is an anagram of 'CAPUCHIN'.
(Other definitions for capuchin that I've seen before include "Religious person" , "Friar; monkey" , "Friar; cloak and hood" , "Monkey with a head like a monk's cowl" , "China cup for kind of friar" .)
