I stopped using plastic storage containers for leftovers about a year ago, mainly because I'd heard from enough green experts that all plastics can leach chemicals, especially when heated. I also found that my plastic containers were much too difficult to keep clean (with oily foods), since I don't have a dishwasher to deliver a pow of water. I'm quite happy with my Pyrex glass containers. But I have a crush on Heath Ceramic's glass storage jars, which are from Germany and definitely have that European style. I'd love to scoop up this set and dish out individual servings of pasta salad to friends at the next picnic.
oh and one of my favorite wedding gifts was from Heath (use it all the time!). Heath offers a wedding registry if you're a bride looking for something special beyond department store registries.
