Receptacle on table, such as golf trophy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eggcup

'receptacle on table' is the definition.
(receptacle for an egg)

'as golf trophy' is the wordplay.
'as' becomes 'eg' (I've seen this in other clues).
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'trophy' becomes 'cup' (cup is a kind of trophy).
'eg'+'g'+'cup'='EGGCUP'

'such' is the link.

(Other definitions for eggcup that I've seen before include "Breakfast placed here" , "Bearer of breakfast (with soldiers)" , "what held a problem for curate?" , "Holder of an oval thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
