Looks like an old chemistry beaker

looks Mexican recent....a lot depends on where you got it

 

[artemis moon]

Blenko or similar art glass manufacturer decanter?

 

[unclemac]

it does have a nice pontil doesn't it?...given the context of bottle #2 I would really give this one some thought.

You're right unclemac, it does have a pontil.

It looks to rough to be a cheap repo.Its a wine carafe.

 

[Red James Cash]

Also considering that its blown,repo bottles are almost always molded.Pontil rods were either wood or iron.Any black on the pontil means a iron pontil rod was used,though the black can flake off.I have a set of 5 blown whiskey glasses,some have the black on the pontil,some dont.

I suggest getting a professional opinion on this one. Based on the shape and the top, to me it looks like late 1600's to very early 1700's. Pictures look like the real deal, but it could just be a cheap bottle made much later than that.
