Female meeting her end in jug (4)
I believe the answer is:
ewer
'jug' is the definition.
(type of vessel)
'female meeting her end' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'ewe' (female sheep).
'meeting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'her' is 'r'.
'ewe'+'r'='EWER'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ewer that I've seen before include "water-carrier" , "Large water jug" , "A type of jug" , "A wide-mouthed water jug" , "Large pitcher" .)
