For the pickled eggs I've been reusing Makro jars > (in which they sell both pickled eggs and pickled onions); I started off reusing pickled egg jars, but as I was trying to be good and only buy small batches of ready made eggs (otherwise they end up eaten rather quickly) these were a bit small. So, I bought myself a big Le Parfait jar from my local independant (and cheap) cookery shop for about 4quid - it's one of those ones with the grolsch style lid. I just had to look up the name, but it's a Kilner Jar, and the fun fact associated with it is that Caleb Kilner, who came up with the idea, is (was?) Jeremy Clarkson's Great Great-Grandfather.
