Might be worth putting it on the Italian Pottery facebook group, just in case.
The pink rose is a modern Asian giftware weight - seen it before. Millefiori might just be Italian, but those canes are not that good, to be...
The green one is a modern copy of Indian wedding jewellery, and rather nice. The other may be a little older, Indian or at a pinch Tibetan.
Brass doesn't always green or tarnish too much, although that would glow nicely with a Sunshine cloth. I've not actually come across the term...
