Take home large vase, we're told (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earn

'take home' is the definition.
(as in taking home money)

'large vase we're told' is the wordplay.
'large vase' becomes 'urn' (I've seen this before).
'we're told' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'urn' is a homophone of 'EARN'.

(Other definitions for earn that I've seen before include "Bring home" , "Gain credit from" , "Merit through work or effort" , "Acquire money by labour" , "Gain (money, reputation, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
