Virgin Mary figural with pontil
Hello,
I’m trying to figure out if this is an antique, vintage, or reproduction bottle. It is hand blown with very heavy glass, bubbles, and a pontil base. Can’t find anything on it online. Please help.

Thanks for posting. Bottle collectors refer to this as the "madonna" bottle. Collectors classify this as a figural bottle. Although hand blown, I am not sure of the age of these.
My hunch is that these are mid-ish 20th century Mexican glass. There is a huge amount of Mexican glass out there - it was intentionally made to look old and hand blown with lots of bubbles in the glass, thicker glass, roughly shaped.
