Type of carafe (8)
I believe the answer is:
decanter
'type of carafe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for decanter that I've seen before include "Stoppered wine bottle" , "quantity of wine?" , "Wine/spirits container" , "Vessel with stopper for serving wine" , "Serving bottle for liquor" .)
