The short brown looking one appears to be a perfume bottle..

The blue and white porcelain kind of looks like a small vase..  Can't see the top, so not sure..

Can not make out the mark on the base..

Hi Sparkles,

I agree with George, the brown one can be a perfume bottle.

I can't figure out the second one either, the shape is not right ,the seal is kind of like later qing  stamp seal ,but its not readable. Sorry can't help more.

The small blue vase, depending on size and country of origin, may be a saki bottle.  If the vase is about the size of a standard hand held phone, that would be my guess without more information.

I have little expertise with Japanese items, but that mark looks Japanese.. Now starting to think this one is a sake bottle ..

 As far as I can make out, it is a modern porcelain snuff bottle with a transfer-printed design and mark.

Joey is absolutely right about it, look the 2 paintings on the bottle, they are identical with each other, hand painting won't be like that.
