Rinsed ten damaged plates and dishes (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dinner set

'plates and dishes' is the definition.
(set for serving dinner)

'rinsed ten damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates an anagram.
'rinsed'+'ten'='rinsedten'
'rinsedten' with letters rearranged gives 'DINNER-SET'.

(Other definitions for dinner set that I've seen before include "Plates etc" , "Table service" , "Complete service of plates and dishes for a meal" , "China" , "Collection of plates and dishes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
