Bad weather near The Potteries might produce this (11)

I believe the answer is:

earthenware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'potteries might produce this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bad weather near' is the wordplay.
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'weather'+'near'='weathernear'
'weathernear' with letters rearranged gives 'EARTHENWARE'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for earthenware that I've seen before include "Vessels made of baked clay" , "articles fired" , "Terracotta" , "Crockery" , "Pots etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
