This heavy tea set includes (approx.):
1 Large Coffee Pot 12" x 7" weighing 837 grams or 1lb 13.6 oz
1 Large Tea Pot 12" x 6" weighing 747 grams or 1lb 10.4 oz
1 Creamer 4" x 4" weighing 200 grams or 7.1 oz
1 Sugar 4" x 5" weighing 237 grams or 8.4 oz
The total sterling weight of this set is 2021 grams or 71.4 oz on my scales (~4.5 lbs).
The Silver Plated Tray is not included and just used for display purposes.
NOTE: The creamer and sugar are marked "STERLING SILVER". The Tea Pot and Coffee Pot are not marked. I had them tested with specialized equipment (I have more pics if needed). The testing showed the creamer and sugar meeting the threshold of STERLING (92.5% silver) and were stamped as such. The coffee pot and tea pot tested in the range of about 91% silver. I assume that since this was under the STERLING standard, it wasn't marked as such.
Indian Silver that isn't maker marked and falling between coin and sterling silver was very commonplace throughout the country.
I've had this set researched by a renown and published Indian Silver Author/Expert and advised me this set was from Calcutta in the Cutch style from the 1890s. He was not surprised of the markings and silver content, saying it was common and very few expert silversmiths in India ever marked their items.
