Hi Hunter, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. This is really interesting and looks like this plate might be a one-off and something DC did not make many of (on the auction market, typical works usually do better than atypical works unless there is extensive documentation etc surrounding a specific individual commission where rarity - and provenance - would drive the price up). Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: An Unusual Dale Chihuly Presentation Art Glass Charger inscribed underneath "Paul Chihuly" (the inscription is comparable to Chihuly drawings from the early 1980s) 3 inches high by 24 inches diameter PROVENANCE: acquired at the Bellagio Hotel in the late 1990s; thence by inheritance $1,200-1,800* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto
