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.
