Rescue broken vase (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

save

'rescue' is the definition.
(saving is a kind of rescuing)

'broken vase' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'vase' anagrammed gives 'SAVE'.

(Other definitions for save that I've seen before include "Rescue from danger" , "Deliver - conserve" , "Rescue or salt away" , "Apart from" , "Rescue; store" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
