In Disney's 1991 Beauty and the Beast, Mrs. Potts's son is the enchanted teacup named Chip.
Chip appears as a childlike teacup among the castle servants transformed by the Beast's curse. His curiosity and enthusiasm make him one of the film's most recognizable supporting characters. The character also helps Belle feel welcome in the castle, especially during the “Be Our Guest” sequence.
Mrs. Potts is the castle's teapot, while Chip is her son and a small teacup. Their relationship is stated through the characters' dialogue and family-like interactions. Because the servants have been transformed into household objects, their names are often remembered alongside the objects they represent.
Chip is sometimes confused with Lumière or Cogsworth, but those characters are different servants. Lumière is the candelabra, and Cogsworth is the clock. Chip's small size and distinctive chip in his rim provide his visual identity.
