Soundly pack timber for this expensive china (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wedgwood

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

'this expensive china' is the definition.

'soundly pack timber' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'timber' could be 'wood' (I've seen this before) and 'wood' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wedgwood that I've seen before include "Josiah -, eighteenth century English potter" , "'Pottery, white decoration on a blue background (8)'" , "Famous potter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
