Bend down, I would say, for this basin (5)

I believe the answer is:

stoup

'this basin' is the definition.
(stoup is a kind of basin)

'bend down i would say' is the wordplay.
'bend down' becomes 'stoop' (synonyms).
'i would say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'stoop' sounds like 'STOUP'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for stoup that I've seen is " Basin for holy water".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
