See Erfurt Weights. The Erfurt Commercial Pfund (16 Unzen, 32 Loth) weighed 0.467 Kilogram, or 15.04 English Troy Ounces, 1 Loth = 14.616 g or ~0.47 Troy Ounce.
The Nuremburg Pfund weighed 0.358038089 Kilogram or 11.51 English Troy Ounces, but in practice, not divisible by Loth.
Where 1 Liter (1,000 cc) = 61.028 Cubic Inches and 35.195 Imperial/UK Fluid Ounces and 33.814 US Fluid Ounces; where the English Pint ('Wine Measure') is 28.875 Cubic Inches (0.4732 Liter, 473.1765 cc), 31.1035 cc contains 1.095 UK Fluid Oz. /1.052 US Fluid Oz.
For Foil or Sheet (unknown thickness;weight) ~ Thlr 0.36 (USD$ 0.26) per sq. in.
2 quadzollen = 1.858 English Square Inches = Thlr 0.67 (USD$ 0.48)
8 quadzollen = 7.432 Eng. Square Inches = Thlr 2.67 (USD$ 1.91)
18 quadzollen = 16.722 Eng. Square Inches = Thlr 6.0 (USD$ 4.29)
The cubic ounce (dry capacity, or content/volume) is presumably the same water volume; therefore weights of 'same size' manufactured Platinum containers should be similar.

This approximates the same 1838 German price for Döbereiner's cited laboratory crucible costs. Compare other crucible weight/volume and contemporary British crucibles for approximations.
1 Unze Volume, Crucible w/ cover ~ 25 g. or 385 grains = 0.80 Troy Ounce
2 Unzen Volume, Crucible w/ cover ~ 50 g. ... = 1.608 Troy Ounce
3 Unzen Volume, Crucible w/ cover ~ 70 g. ... = 2.251 Troy Ounce
4 Unzen Volume, Crucible w/ cover ~ 95 g. ... = 3.05 Troy Ounce
1 Unze Inhalt: Lid cost Thlr 2. or 25% extra.
Evaporating basin @ Thlr 8./ per Unze (volume)
Crucible w/ cover @ Thlr 10./ per Unze (volume)
Citation: Preis-Courant von Eduard Gressler zur Erfurt (1852) pp.
Schmelztiegel mit Deckel, Inhalt = crucible w/ cover @ Thlr 10./ per Unze (volume)
By Volume, a 'Crucible with Cover' containing 29.2 Grams cost Thlr. 10.; theoretically,
a 'Crucible w/Cover' containing 30 Grams {Metric} should cost Thlr 10.27, 60 Grams @ Thlr. 20.55, 90 Grams @ Thlr. 30.82, 120 Grams @ Thlr. 41.10, etc.
Assuming an approximate thickness & form, the difference between covered crucible & dish is the COVER- and handle-weight (accounting for extra labor.)
