Madrid Saucer-Amber-Original
The Madrid Pattern was made by Federal Glass Company from 1932-39.
Please bear in mind that depression glass was cheaply made and as such there are factory flaws in most pieces. These include air bubbles, streatch marks, dimples and folds, etc. and even dirt particles. Most of these pieces were used and very few spent time on display only.
This saucer measures 5 3/4" around and weighs 7 oz.
There are some use marks but otherwise it is in factory new condition.

Patrician Spoke 11 1/8" Platter?-Amber
This pattern was made by the Jeannette Glass Company between 1936-1946.
Please bear in mind that depression glass was cheaply made and as such there are factory flaws in most pieces. These include air bubbles, streatch marks, dimples and folds, etc. and even dirt particles. Most of these pieces were used and very few spent time on display only.
This plate measures 11 1/8" around and weighs 1lb. 8oz. The size is closer to the platter than the dinner plate so I will assume it's a platter.
There are some light use marks and factory flaws plus two interior rim chips less than 1/16". Otherwise there are no cracks or breaks.

Federal Panelled-Loop Handled Reamer-Crystal
As with all depression glass, there are imperfections in the manufacturing process. Also, most of this glassware was used and didn't spend time shelf sitting.
This reamer measures approximately 5 3/4" around, is slightly over 2" high and weighs 1lb. 6oz.
The only problem I find with this reamer are four very small rim flakes at the exterior base and what appears to be either an inclusion or flaw near the bottom of the spout-this can be seen but not felt so I suspect it to be a manufacturing flaw. There is also a slight scratch near the upper part of the spout. Otherwise, there are no major problems with this reamer.

Federal Glass-Celestial Gem Tone Candle Holders-'30s
I'm not sure if these candle holders tryly belong in the Depression catagory as this is not part of any known pattern that I'm aware of. I identified them from a book about glass companys & their wares written in the early '60s which stated the Federal Glass Company made these in the 1930s. Also, they are better quality glass than depression ware.
These are really nice looking pieces of glass. The color is Amberina-like with light yellow centers fading to a soft purple edging. This is not flashing. The glass is smooth and thick and they are mold blown.
Each holder measures a little over 5 1/4" at its wides point and they are 1" high. Together they weigh 1lb. 7oz.
There are very few air bubbles and only some light stretch marks. There are no scratches, breaks, etc. and only light base wear. These look brand new.

Madrid Aqua Cup/Saucer
I believe this color makes this one of the later versions of this depression wear pattern. I can't find a picture of the original blue color to compare the two. The patterning on the cup is weaker than most depression glass but the saucer is crisp. The glass on the cup is thicker than I would expect from a reproduction. The pieces do show some air bubbles and stretching and some mold flaws that at first view appear to be nicks or light cracks but under a loop show them to be flaws.
Otherwise, there are no signs of use on either piece and they look to be in factory new condition.
The combined weight of the set is 14oz.
