Love these finds! I'm a fan of milk glass, found a little info about the Ungual jar- someone had posted a fragment on reddit last year & one user found Ungual in this 1909 pharmaceutical manual: https://books.google.com/books?id=K8bNAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA128&dq=ungual+cream
A cold cream w/ 10% salicylic acid!
I was wondering if "Ungual" was derived from or related to "Unguent." Your research seems to confirm my suspicion.

"un·guent
/ˈəNGɡwənt/

noun
noun: unguent; plural noun: unguents

a soft greasy or viscous substance used as ointment or for lubrication
"
