Informed after feature on pottery (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chinaware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pottery' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'informed after feature' is the wordplay.
'informed' becomes 'aware' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'feature' becomes 'chin' (facial feature).
'aware' put after 'chin' is 'CHINAWARE'.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chinaware that I've seen before include "Fragile articles" , "service, perhaps" , "Ceramics" , "porcelain" , "Ceramic articles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
