Tableware at home broken on beach outside (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
bone china
'tableware' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'at home broken on beach outside' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'on'+'beach'='onbeach'
'onbeach' is an anagram of 'bonecha'.
'in' placed into 'bonecha' is 'BONE CHINA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bone china that I've seen before include "High quality porcelain" , "Type of fine porcelain" , "Coalport" , "Fine things perhaps thrown" , "Material from Potter" .)
