I got the glass "cookie jar" at Walmart for $9.97. You might not be able to really see the size. It is 9.5" diameter and 10.5" tall and holds 2 gallons. Add another 2" for the lid. There is not a rubber seal, just the glass jar and glass lid.

I also bought a cheap poly cutting board with the intent to cut it down to fit in the jar to weigh down the pickles, but for this run, I just used a gallon ziplock bag full of water.
