Cease breaking pots (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stop

'cease' is the definition.
('stop' can be a synonym of 'cease')

'breaking pots' is the wordplay.
'breaking' indicates an anagram.
'pots' is an anagram of 'STOP'.

(Other definitions for stop that I've seen before include "Come to an end" , "Close < finish" , "Finished" , "Arrest" , "End or pause" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
