It depends on the internal design of the spout. If it's connected directly to the body with no strange internal tubing then about 8oz at most

A bit technical Stuart, (it's just a simple drawing), but you are on the correct side of the scale. :cheers:

Well, I think...

...as it wasn't specifically stated as being liquid, it could be around 64 ounces of tea leaves. The total weight depends how many leaves can go up the spout. :clown:
