'tip' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'up open vase' is the wordplay.

'vase' becomes 'urn' (both can mean a container).
'overt'+'urn'='OVERTURN'

(Other definitions for overturn that I've seen before include "Reverse (legal ruling)" , "Empty out" , "Topple or capsize" , "Reverse or capsize" , "Upset; abolish" .)
