Recent ads about containers (9)
I believe the answer is:
decanters
'containers' is the definition.
(decanter is a kind of container)
'recent ads about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'recent'+'ads'='recentads'
'recentads' with letters rearranged gives 'DECANTERS'.
(Other definitions for decanters that I've seen before include "Wine is poured into these for use at table" , "Bottles with stoppers, for serving wine or water" , "The wine bottles have sad centre, oddly" , "Ardent sec provides wine flasks for table" , "containers for wine" .)
