Bill found by queen for vessel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beaker

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

'vessel' is the definition.
(beaker is a kind of vessel)

'bill found by queen' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'beak' (synonyms).
'found' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'by queen' becomes 'er' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'beak'+'er'='BEAKER'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beaker that I've seen before include "Open glass, straight with lip, used in laboratory" , "Tall cup or tumbler" , "Cup with a wide mouth" , "Flatbottomed drinking cup" , "Plastic cup without a handle" .)
