The marking is deep inside the stem of each piece and can not be photographed without special equipment. The following weights are approximate and were obtained using a kitchen scale.

The creamer has a weight of 13 oz or 369 grams. The covered sugar has a weight of 1 lb 6 oz or 624 grams. The waste bowl has a weight of 13 oz or 369 grams.
