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

'pots say' is the definition.
'urns' can be an answer for 'pots' (urn is a type of vessel). I'm not certain of the 'say' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for urns that I've seen before include "Runs to get funeral vases" , "Large containers for tea" , "Large vases or pots" , "Tall vases" , "Vase-shaped vessels" .)

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