Items 1-17-18 new tourist or museum-shop or gift-shop trinkets related to Africa.
Pink god carving might be rose quartz, new poor carving.
Carved seal stamp a new tourist type item. You don't show if a seal has been carved into its base.
Blue and white bowl with Qing Dynasty Guangxu reign mark (1874-1908) not Imperial quality, footrim lopsided. Probably very recent, joining many items being made with that mark.
Item 10 carving poor, probably among the many hardstone carvings coming out of China these days.
Item 9 should not have been sold as 'snuff bottle', decorative value if you like it.
Double-fish symbolize marital bliss, yours a very inexpensive item that could be wedding gift for people you care little about.
The other items tourist wares from various places.
Good luck,
Cal
