With speech, makes pots (4)
I believe the answer is:
urns
'pots' is the definition.
(urn is a kind of pot)
'with speech makes' is the wordplay.
'with speech' shows a homophone (sound like).
'makes' becomes 'earns' (as in making money).
'earns' sounds like 'URNS'.
(Other definitions for urns that I've seen before include "Large containers for tea" , "Large pots for tea" , "Runs to get large vases" , "Containers for ashes" , "Vessels to hold the ashes of the dead" .)
