Reviewing amount of money type of Chinese porcelain raised (7,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

summing up

'reviewing' is the definition.

'amount of money type of chinese porcelain raised' is the wordplay.
'amount of money' becomes 'sum' (synonyms).
'type of chinese porcelain' becomes 'ming' (porcelain from the Ming dynasty era).
'raised' becomes 'up' (similar in meaning).
'sum'+'ming'+'up'='SUMMING-UP'

(Other definitions for summing up that I've seen before include "pre-retirement address" , "Adding" , "conclusion" , "Review" , "comments from judge" .)
