Assyria was an ancient kingdom that originated in the city-state of Aššur (also known as Ashur), which once lay on the Tigris River in Mesopotamia. Often referred to as the “Cradle of Civilization,” many powerful empires arose in the Bronze and Iron Age fertile crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Among these was the Assyrian Empire. The complex geopolitical history of ancient Assyria is typically divided by historians into three distinct phases: the Old Assyrian Empire, the Middle Assyrian period, and the Neo-Assyrian period. Over almost two thousand years, political control shifted and empires rose and fell. The Assyrian state remained politically centered around the Akkadian-speaking city of Aššur for most of this time.Early aesthetic Assyrian inspired piecein excellent conditions showing solid quality manufacture no dents , cuts or major scratches, no monogram , overall substantial plating satin finish, and textured and bright accents to the chased, all done with outstanding attention to detail, the inside is clean with some signs of use, light scratching mostly from use still hold the original finish without cuts, corrosion, build up or repairs, included a ladle from the same period and theme ladle 9 7/8" in excellent condition no wear mono or heal wear (+ W R) William Rogers., The Tureen 12 1/4" handle to handle , 9 1/2" without by 6" to the top of the lid, 70 Fl Oz liquid capacity(9 cups), and 3.8 lbs weight before packing
