I don't have a scale, so I am not able to disclose the silver weight of the set. These pieces are very beautiful and ready for entertaining. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you want additional pictures. Also please know that this isn't my full-time job so if you ask a question it may take me some time to respond. Thank you for looking at my auction.
