Actually, I'm Steve, the gardener around here.  My address is
rebecca.neason, because I do my social "internetting" at home on my
wife's ISP and not on my work account.  (My wife writes novels for a
living, a profession where name recognition is important, thus the use
of her full name in her email address.)

The most common spice bottle sold in the U.S. holds 10-20 grams of leaf
or seed spices (thyme, basil, caraway, oregano) or about 50-60 grams of
ground spices (cayenne, paprika, etc).  I'd guess the volume at about
100-120ml.  Of course spices are also sold in containers a third to a
half that size, especially the less commonly used or more expensive like
turmeric and dill.  And the popular herbs and spices (black peppercorn,
basil, oregano) are sold in large containers.  But I think the most
common size offered on the spice rack at the grocery is the 100-120 ml
size.
