Do a search on Ebay-- I just put in "5 ml jars" and a seller stated they hold about a teaspoon. There'll be pictures so it should give you an idea--to me they look similar though I ordered 5g jars....pictures could be wonky but obviously they are both small so I think they'll be close if not identical.

I always wondered why they referred to them as 5g jars, is that referring to the weight of the jar itself? *shrug* saying how much it could hold made more sense to me .

In liquid volume 5ml is one teaspoon. I have some 10g jars of mineral makeup and they look to be about a heaping tablespoon of powder so I'd say a 5ml jar should hold 5g of powder product adequately.

I think the reason they use grams instead of ml is because ml is a liquid measurement and grams is dry weight. Usually one is putting dry product into the jars so using dry weight makes sense.
