State makes vessels to deliver tea? (4)
I believe the answer is:
urns
'state makes vessels' is the definition.
'urns' can be an answer for 'vessels' (urn is a kind of vessel). I'm not sure about the 'state makes' bit.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for urns that I've seen before include "Vaselike vessels on pedestals" , "Runs to get funeral vases" , "Tall vases" , "Vase-shaped vessels" , "Runs to get large vases" .)
