When I look at the hair style of figures on the side of the silver, it seems very clear to me that it is most likely to be from or Burma or Thailand. Please see Vidya Dahejia's Book, Delight in Design, Indian Silver for the Raj, pg. 200-211.

Re: Small hand made bowl from India
I am fairly sure that this bowl is not from India but it is from Burma/Thailand.

Re: Odd primitive container with rattles
This is a container used to hold colored powders (Kanku, Sundur, Abil, etc.) used in "puja," or worship rituals. It is most likely from Rajasthan, made in the 1950s.
