Piece of tableware (5)
I believe the answer is:
plate
'piece of tableware' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for plate that I've seen before include "trophy" , "Put film on" , "Flat dish; gold and silver ware" , "Leapt (anag.)" , "Shallow vessel" .)
