Spiky vessel for a brew as found in the Dales, Peak and perhaps Mendip? (6-3)

Yes. One of several, including one in Scotland!

I suppose the obvious answer would be Vulcan Pot.

I think the OMG was a bit of a red herring. Then Spock is an original Star Trek reference (although strictly he was only half Vulcan), and his top backwards gives the second word.
Meanwhile, try this one:
Fringe Pot? (6, 6, 3)

It's not easy to come up with a hint without giving this away. For now, I'll just suggest that the letter count should narrow down the options.

OK, time for a more substantive hint. The clue is perhaps a bit indirect - in fact if there were such a place as "Fringe Pot" the phrase you are looking for might serve as a clue to it. Oh, and an anagram is involved . . .

It could, with a bit of imagination about what constitutes a cryptic clue, be Broken Finger Pot.

Yes, that's it! The question mark was supposed to indicate the need for imagination. Over to you . . .

No, I'll let somebody else have a go. These aren't cryptic clues of the type I am familiar with.
