I think water glass was for the same purpose, as you say. We used to keep the surplus eggs in good condition all through the off-season. I can't remember my parents ever having to buy eggs.
Would it work to just submerge the eggs in the container of slurry and sealing instead of wrapping eggs individually do you think? Maybe it works similarly to water glass which I have been trying to locate to try.

Worth a try, I suppose. It's certainly more like the old country folk way of making them. They would place their surplus eggs in a spot that was likely to stay wet, and cover then with ashes.
Like I said, a a one-month-old egg is not any different from a thousand-year-old one. Those strong alkalais do something very profound.
I'm pretty sure water glass, (sodium silicate) simply seals the shell so bacteria can't get in, and moisture can't get out. I've never tried it though, so I cant say.
