glass jars
If you want to store pickles, then a glass vessel is also good for it. The reason for this is that none of the ingredients put in pickle in a glass vessel react. Pickle is sour and spicy.

Be careful if you want to keep it in an earthen pot.

Do not keep in steel, copper, plastic or other metal utensils
Pickles should not be kept in metal utensils like steel, copper, brass, bronze. Actually pickle is acidic and all these metals react with acidic things.

You should not take such pickle also.
