Spin the first vase (4)
I believe the answer is:
turn
'spin' is the definition.
(I know that spin is a more specific form of circumvolve)
'the first vase' is the wordplay.
'the first' becomes 't' (1st letter of 'the').
'vase' becomes 'urn' (both can mean a container).
't'+'urn'='TURN'
(Other definitions for turn that I've seen before include "change for Autumn" , "Sour" , "Go - short walk" , "Change direction" , "Move in a new direction" .)
