I'm trying to identify where this hat pin came from and what kind. Thanks for any help

Your pin is Japanese "Satsuma". The quotes are used because much crackle-glaze stoneware made and decorated in Japan and sold as Satsuma ware since the late 19th century has been decorated in Kyoto or elsewhere. It still sells, though, as these auction results attest:
