Rescue a broken vase (4)

I believe the answer is:

save

'rescue' is the definition.
(I know that save is a more specific form of the action rescue)

'a broken vase' is the wordplay.
'a broken' indicates an anagram.
'vase' is an anagram of 'SAVE'.

(Other definitions for save that I've seen before include "Bar" , "Preserve; except" , "Rescue for a rainy day?" , "Deliver - conserve" , "Rescue; preserve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
