Vase on a pedestal (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'vase on a pedestal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Holder of the Ashes?" , "Large vessel, for tea perhaps" , "Large vessel for making coffee or tea" , "Ashes trophy" , "tea maker" .)
