I thought the black box thing at the beggining of Thor: The Dark World was the container. The Dark Elves used it and Bor used it, and the stone remained in it until Jane Foster found it.

From what Odin said, it seemed like the Aether is the Reality Stone:

"While the other relics often appear as stones, the Aether is fluid, and ever changing."

Plus from Thor's vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron, we saw that the Aether condenced into its Stone form.

So, to me, it's clear that the Aether is another name for the Reality Stone's fluid state and not a container.
