Clotted cream is found around Cornwall’s foremost pottery (8)

I believe the answer is:
ceramics
'pottery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'clotted cream is found around cornwall's foremost' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'cream' is 'ceram' which is located in the answer.
'around' could be 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'c' is located in the answer.
'is' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ceramics that I've seen before include "Articles of clay" , "Potter's products" , "Items of fired clay" , "Goods of fired clay" , "pots" .)
