God rested next to vase (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saturn

'god' is the definition.
(Saturn is an example)

'rested next to vase' is the wordplay.
'rested' becomes 'sat' (to sit is to rest).
'next to' says to put letters next to each other.
'vase' becomes 'urn' (both can mean a container).
'sat'+'urn'='SATURN'

(Other definitions for saturn that I've seen before include "Nearest ringed planet" , "deity" , "Giant planet" , "space traveller" , "tried to pass vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
