You were heard getting vessel (4)
I believe the answer is:
ewer
'vessel' is the definition.
(I know that ewer is a type of vessel)
'you were heard' is the wordplay.
'were' can be anagrammed to 'EWER'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ewer that I've seen before include "A type of jug" , "Jar for water" , "water-carrier" , "Decorative pitcher" , "Water-jar" .)
