Madrid pattern depression glass was first made by the Federal Glass Company from 1932 to 1939. The purple Madrid pattern sells for around $15 - $20 for the pair.
Depression glass was produced in the 1930's, so it isn't antique. An antique is over 100 years old. The value of each piece depends on how common or rare it is, and what condition it is in. If you search for your piece on Ebay and/or replacements.com, you can get some idea of what it is worth. Be prepared to be dissapointed, though. Depression glass was produced in mass quantities and often given away for free as a company promotion, so it really isn't worth much, unless you find a piece in a rare pattern or colour. You can often find plates at thrift stores or flea markets for as low as $3.00. It's also hard to tell if something is really Depression glass, or a later reproduction. Have fun collecting!

EAPC, when referring to vintage glassware, stands for "Early American Prescut". It is a pattern that was produced by the Anchor Hocking company from the 1960s-1990s and is also known by collectors as "Star of David". Not to be confused with EAPG, "Early American Pattern Glass" which was a style of glassware produced ca 1850-1910. Hope this is the answer you were looking for.

Antique items fluctuate in popularity each year. From time to time, antique tinware has significant value for the popular pattern of the time. Tinware seems to always have at least a small value for pieces in good condition.
The term Depression Glass was coined in the early 1950s to identify that particular glass which was produced largely during the Depression era (1929-1935). During the 1950s and 1960s many antique dealers were buying and selling Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) and occasionally a piece of colored glassware would slip into their estates. This type of glassware was looked down upon as being worthless at the time. Not until the mid-1980s did Depression Glass become more of a collectible and ultimately replace the EAPG as the hot collectible and high priced glass of the late 20th century. Depression Glass originated from more than 15 different glass manufacturing companies, however Hazel Atlas Glass was credited as being the first to produce colored glassware for table use in 1923.

No. While tornadoes certainly do produce low pressure, a depression is a different type of weather pattern.
The value of any depression glass piece is dependent on the pattern it is. For example a Ballerina pattern sherbet is worth considerably more than an Ovide pattern. First, determine the pattern and then you will be able to ascertain the price value. A reference to Hazel Atlas depression glass can be found at the hazelatlasglass.com website.
