Crossword Genius

Pottery possibly left to a daughter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delft

'pottery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'possibly left to a daughter' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'to a daughter' becomes 'd'.
'left'+'d'='leftd'
'leftd' with letters rearranged gives 'DELFT'.

(Other definitions for delft that I've seen before include "Dutch town famous for ceramics" , "Dutch blue/white glazed earthenware" , "Dutch blue and white glazed earthenware" , "A type of earthenware" , "Vermeer's town - earthenware" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
