Bag votary transported reveals item of crockery (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gravy boat

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

'item of crockery' is the definition.
'gravy boat' can be an answer for 'crockery' (gravy boat is a kind of crockery). I'm not certain of the 'item of' bit.

'bag votary transported' is the wordplay.
'transported' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bag'+'votary'='bagvotary'
'bagvotary' with letters rearranged gives 'GRAVY-BOAT'.

'reveals' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gravy boat that I've seen before include "Vessel in service" , "Piece of china" , "Vessel for serving meat sauce" .)
