Smallest checked luggage size

If you look into an airline's terms and conditions, you will in most cases find a vague and unspecific disclaimer escentially stating that the airline can deny at their own discretion to transport certain items.
Just as an example, Lufthansa's T&Cs contain the following disclaimer, but you will likely find similar in other airline's T&Cs:
8.3.1. You must not include in your Baggage: ... 8.3.1.3. items which are reasonably considered by us to be unsuitable for carriage ... by reason of their weight, size, shape or character
Luggage handling facilities at airports are not built to handle arbitrary small items, so yes, you must expect the airline to deny accepting them as checked luggage. Contrary to maximum dimensions, which are usually specified, it is for small items up to the handling agent to decide if the item is acceptable or not.

Some guy apparently checked a (375ml) can of beer on a Qantas domestic flight back in 2017. It made it undamaged from Melbourne to Perth. He noted that he initially had some trouble getting the automated equipment to register it, but eventually it was accepted.
