    I was given this piece by a family friend about 24yrs ago and I do not know anything about it. It is signed. If anyone has any information that would be great. Thanks

      As you can see from the presentation box, your piece is made by Steuben Glass company. It is a 1970's piece designed by the late James Houston , a Master Designer at Steuben Glass. The piece is called Heart and Key.

      I found it on worthpoint -- if you sign up with them, you can see the value they put on it -- which may be different from what is written here.

      I quote the ebay seller who listed it (which is where Worthpoint got the info) -- "According to the experts at STEUBEN GLASS, NEW YORK , This piece would have a value of $2,500 as of 2004. This was a verbal appraisal from Steuben, not written. They also said with Mr Houston having passed on that the value goes up but do not have a apraisal March 2007"

      See the above info here: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1970s-steuben-heart-and-key-by-the-late-james

      These are suggested prices from the Steuben people -- that would be similar to insurance or replacement value. You may not be able to get that price for it if you try to sell it yourself. Good luck.

      -- current version available on Steuben.com for $3500 -- http://steuben.com/acb/product2.cfm?section=6&subsection=0&group=90&product=814

      The gold on the heart alone is worth over $400 at today's prices. I don't know how much the key weighs since I am missing mine - some moron probably sold it to a scrapper.
