Part of the furnishings in a tearoom (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'a tearoom' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'part of the furnishings in' is the wordplay.
'part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'URN' can be found hidden inside 'furnishings in'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "a large vase as for cremation ashes" , "Vase with handles" , "Large vase for funeral ashes" , "Vase; tea vessel" , "A large vase as for human ashes" .)
