Craft in which wives seldom excel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vessel

'craft' is the definition.
(I know that craft can be written as vessel)

'in which wives seldom excel' is the wordplay.
'in which' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'VESSEL' can be found hidden inside 'wives seldom excel'.

(Other definitions for vessel that I've seen before include "Ship or large boat" , "one swimming in blood?" , "A ship, a cup" , "bowl?" , "Blood-carrying tube or a ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
