Type of porcelain food container (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eggshell

'type of porcelain' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'food container' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'egg' (egg is a kind of food).
'container' becomes 'shell'.
'egg'+'shell'='EGGSHELL'

(Other definitions for eggshell that I've seen before include "Delicate sort of china" , "Holder of the white and yellow" , "that soldiers have to get through" , "formed in layers" , "Thin, translucent china" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
