The Ostrich Egg Jug is for the hostess who has it all. It is made from a real ostrich egg, with sterling silver spout, handle and base. The concept came from the fact that some tribes in South Africa used the giant birds' shells to carry water for thousands of years, taking advantage of their impressively sturdy build. The jug measures 7.75" x 4.75" and can one egg's worth of water or other liquid, or about 60-ounces. Price: $385.
