Utterly tasteless objects (3)
I believe the answer is:
tat
'utterly tasteless objects' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tat that I've seen before include "Bric-a-brac" , "Make lace using a small shuttle" , "Shoddy article" , "Tasteless articles" , "Cheap clothes" .)
