See a place in the garden for cups and saucers, etc. (8)

I believe the answer is:

crockery

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cups and saucers etc' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'see a place in the garden' is the wordplay.
'see a place in' becomes 'c' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the garden' becomes 'rockery' (rockery is a kind of garden).
'c'+'rockery'='CROCKERY'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crockery that I've seen before include "Cups, plates etc" , "Earthenware vessels" , "bowls" , "Dishes, plates etc." , "China pieces" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
