Is there a curse when you break it? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saucer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you break it?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'is there a curse' is the wordplay.
'a curse' anagrams to 'SAUCER'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saucer that I've seen before include "Piece of tableware, goes with cup" , "Car use (anag)" , "Shallow depression" , "If it's flying, it's a UFO" , "Piece of crockery, mysterious when flying" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
