There is no standard spice jar, there are a wide variety of sizes sold by many different companies.
We consider the standard size to be 2" in diameter and 5" tall, this is the larger of the sizes available.
Penzey's and other premium brands use the larger size, McCormick goes smaller with 1.8" diameter and 4.5" tall.
Half size containers stack very nicely, 2 in the spot of one standard spice, our units have a band to hold each stacked spice jar.
Common Brands include:
McCormick
Penzeys
Spice Island
Morton and Bassett
