    Thanks in advance

    Not sure, but the first one looks like a Japanese rice bowl, mark upside down.

    They all look like rice bowls, except for Item 3, which looks like a tea cup.
    From what I can see, not terribly old. My guess 1960s/70s and later.

    The 2nd item is Chinese. The mark appears to be #425 under the section "Recent additions - Underglaze Blue" - a good 3/4ths of the way down the page. The mark pic should be turned 90 degrees clock-wise. Here's what it says about this mark:
    "425. Yu - "Jade" (=Precious Treasure.) Possibly late 19th C."

    This is the only one I've been able to ID.

    I'm wondering if item #3 mark is the Yu - "Jade" mark also??? Following is a teacup on or was on eBay that has a mark similar to your #3 mark. Your pic needs to be turned 180 degrees with the dot on the right to look like the following mark. The seller is calling it a Yu - Jade mark Precious Treasure of late 19th century. At this point you can't prove it by me if it is or not.

    Scroll down the page to see the English description.

    2 and 3 are the ones I liked best, however i was a bit concerned that the pattern on the inside rim of 2 doesn't line up, is this normal?

    Yes, these bowls are mass-produced and sometimes the pattern doesn't line up correctly. I've seen much worse.
