Sparkle you can see in silver vessel (5)

I believe the answer is:

verve

'sparkle' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'you can see in silver vessel' is the wordplay.
'you can see in' indicates a hidden word.
'VERVE' is hidden within 'silver vessel'.

(Other definitions for verve that I've seen before include "Life" , "Sparkling enthusiasm" , "Great liveliness or enthusiasm" , "Dashing enthusiasm" , "Animation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
