The markings finally wore off mine. I replaced them with a set of 1C,
2C and 4C ones from Oxo. I like them You can read the measurements
from the side like the old glass ones and from the top while you are
pouring. They are also marked on one side with cup measurements and on
the other with ounces. Nice for lots of recipes I've been running into
lately that use ounces for liquids.
