Probably. It's not a common expression.

It's not important to the story.

If you look at the picture of a sawtooth acorn here, you'll see how the cup could be described as a nest.

If you'd added the specific type of acorn to the search, Google images would have given you the answer. Maybe you should widen your searches.

BTW, as a native speaker with little knowledge of acorns, I would have skipped over it and moved on. Are you a translator? :up:
