Bring home round article made of clay (7)
I believe the answer is:
earthen
'made of clay' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bring home round article' is the wordplay.
'bring home' becomes 'earn' (as in bringing home a wage).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'earn' placed around 'the' is 'EARTHEN'.
(Other definitions for earthen that I've seen before include "of the soil" , "Made of baked clay, perhaps ware" , "that's thrown in clay" , "Made of baked or fired clay" , "(Of pot) made of baked clay" .)
