Manufactured pseudo, not classy porcelain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spode

'porcelain' is the definition.
(Spode is an example)

'manufactured pseudo not classy' is the wordplay.
'manufactured' indicates anagramming the letters.
'not' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'classy' becomes 'u' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pseudo' with 'u' taken away is 'psedo'.
'psedo' anagrammed gives 'SPODE'.

(Other definitions for spode that I've seen before include "English porcelain manufacturer" , "Brand of china" , "English potter" , "Brand of fine English porcelain" , "Pottery manufacturer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
