See also picture 5 (same link as above): the caption next to it says ''After the dipping stage'', so we can assume that the little jar with the yellowish fluid in it is the dipping jar.

It is a jar containing a substance (usually gel) into which a cotton swab is dipped.

Explanation:
I draw this conclusion on the basis of research I did on the Internet and the sites I came across that contained that collocation.

Example sentence(s):

Originally, benzocaine gels were packaged in bulk jars. Dispensing to the patient required the dentist to open the jar, dip a cotton swab into the jar, and apply.
