Vessel; gravy holder (4)
I believe the answer is:
boat
I believe this is a double definition.
'vessel' is the first definition.
(I know that vessel can be written as boat)
'gravy holder' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for boat that I've seen before include "Vessel for water travel" , "Floating vessel" , "Vehicle for travelling over water" , "Water craft" , "Water (or gravy) vessel" .)
