Container, receptacle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vessel

This clue is a double definition.

'container' is the first definition.
(vessel is a kind of container)

'receptacle' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for vessel that I've seen before include "bowl?" , "Craft for water transportation" , "one swimming in blood?" , "Blood-carrying tube or a ship" , "Ship or large boat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
