go to a local museum, maybe call them before you show up with it, and try to set up an appointment with someone in the department that best suits the piece.
in the meantime check ebay and watch antiques roadshow
good luck!

Take it to a professional assessor - look in your phone book or ask at a local art museum.

Is there a signature? You can look up auction records by artist on http://www.findartinfo.com. Artprice.com is better, but it has a monthly subscription fee.

Thank you very much, while you're up.
