saturn

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

'modelled vase that has spectacular rings' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'modelled vase that has' is the wordplay.
'modelled' becomes 'sat' ('sit' can be a synonym of 'model').
'vase' becomes 'urn' (both can mean a container).
'that has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sat'+'urn'='SATURN'

Can you help me to learn more?
