Runs off to get receptacles (4)
I believe the answer is:
urns
'receptacles' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'runs off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'runs' with letters rearranged gives 'URNS'.
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for urns that I've seen before include "Vase-shaped vessels" , "Large containers for tea" , "Large vases or pots" , "Large vessels for tea" , "Containers for ashes" .)
