Unusual Eastern taste shown in china service (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea set

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'china service' is the definition.
'tea set' can be an answer for 'service' (service can mean items for serving tea). I am not certain of the 'china' bit.

'unusual eastern taste' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'e'+'taste'='etaste'
'etaste' anagrammed gives 'TEA-SET'.

'shown in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tea set that I've seen before include "Collection of crockery from estate" , "Equipment for an afternoon meal" , "facility for refreshment" , "Cups, saucers, plates" , "Collections of cups, saucers etc for serving light meal" .)

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