Give up making pots (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stop

'give up' is the definition.
(I know that give up can be written as stop)

'making pots' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates an anagram.
'pots' with letters rearranged gives 'STOP'.

(Other definitions for stop that I've seen before include "It could be the organist's principal" , "set of organ pipes" , "period in US" , "Halt, whoa, desist" , "Knock out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
