the last piccy could be a loom weight, or spindle whorl. [i just had something similar returned from our FLO last week].  please record it with your FLO.

It's always hard to ID a 3-D object from pics, but the first one looks like a pot leg to me.

Just had a look - agree that it is difficult with these things - the lentoid cross section would suggest that it is a skillet handle rather than pot leg
