This vase was originally my grandparents'. We know the vase was given to them as a wedding present in 1958. It is just over 10" tall. Any ideas of price as well as best means to sell it would be appreciated.

Val St. Lambert Sticker, moon and stars shapes etched into the glass
As an ameture Val St Lambert collector I can tell you:
Val St Lambert, a very old Belgian company, is arguably the second or third most famous and sought after names. Baccarat being tops. Having said that, prices are all over the place.
Vases similar to yours aren't that sought after and only run $29 to $49 on ebay, and may or may not sell. From the pictures yours appears in good shape with no scuffs, flea bites or chips.
That the sticker is on is a good sign. But generally it is more likely to sell if it is signed on the bottom. An etched or hand signed VSL are good, a full etched Val St Lambert better, and hand signed best.
Thanks for the reply. I've noticed as well that the prices are everywhere. Supposedly my dad saw somebody selling this exact vase for $700, but we do not know if it sold. If you or anybody else knows how we can investigate the value of this specific model of vase, that'd be incredibly helpful.

Wish I had better news for you.
