I believe the answer is:

top-end

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

'most expensive' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'vessel knocked over edge' is the wordplay.
'vessel' becomes 'pot' (type of container).
'knocked over' is a reversal indicator.
'edge' becomes 'end' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pot' back-to-front is 'top'.
'top'+'end'='TOP END'

Can you help me to learn more?
