Jolly little woman with bottle (6)
I believe the answer is:
jovial
'jolly' is the definition.
(I know that jolly can be written as jovial)
'little woman with bottle' is the wordplay.
'little woman' becomes 'Jo' (character from Little Women).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'bottle' becomes 'vial' (vial is a kind of bottle).
'jo'+'vial'='JOVIAL'
(Other definitions for jovial that I've seen before include "Genial, joyous" , "Cheerful, friendly" , "Hearty and cheerful like Jupiter" , "Cheerful, lively" , "Jolly, good-humoured" .)
