Help valuing lampshade please

Hi,
I was going to sell this lampshade on ebay but I have no idea how much it is worth. I was given to me as a present and I know that it is old but I have no idea how old. I was wondering how much I should start the auction at and how much do you think the final value will be.
The approximate dimensions of the lampshade are:

height - 12cm

width (at widest point) - 16cm

Thanks in advance

    is it branded in anyway? or marked at all? I would take it/email photos to an antiques dealer and see what they say.

    it's beautiful btw!

    Thanks.

    I think it is called custard glass in some places and vaseline glass in others. It is lovely, I wouldn't sell it for less than £30 but that is just me. I would think you would get a lot of interest. As glass is quite popular at the moment.

    It's going to be a real pain to post.

    Will need to wrap it up in about 10 metres of bubble wrap.
