Coffee vessels (4)
I believe the answer is:
urns
'coffee vessels' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for urns that I've seen before include "Burial vases" , "Tall vases" , "Runs to get funeral vases" , "Vessels to hold the ashes of the dead" , "Runs to get large vases" .)
