Boy working next to church making pale green porcelain (7)
I believe the answer is:
celadon
'pale green porcelain' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'boy working next to church' is the wordplay.
'boy' becomes 'lad' (informal term for boy).
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
'next to' says to put letters next to each other.
'church' becomes 'ce' (Church of England).
'lad'+'on'='ladon'
'ladon' put after 'ce' is 'CELADON'.
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for celadon that I've seen before include "Greyish-green porcelain" , "Green" , "pottery" .)
