Vaselike vessel (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'vaselike vessel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Tall vase with stem" , "One carrying coffee or tea" , "Vase for containing ashes" , "Run to get funeral vase" , "Repository for ashes" .)
