Featured What's in the center of this hatpin? Glass or stone?

Bought this in a group of hatpins tonight. It has a beautiful piece in the center but I'm not sure if it's glass or stone.

Any ideas? Thanks!

 

Art glass; it may have a specific name but I don't know it.

 

Sweet.....I'll say glass also !

 

Glass or porcelain.

 

I'm with Bronwen. The slightly roughish, pitted surface makes me lean toward porcelain. It is very pretty.
Are those (faux) pearls or silvery beads?

 

Very pretty!. Love it.

 

They look like faux pearls.

I am extremely nearsighted and wear contact lenses. When I take my lenses out, I can see very well close to my eyes. This morning, no lenses, I can see a depth to the material that can't be seen in a flat photo.

So, it doesn't look like porcelain to me. But, I've been wrong before.

 

Love the colors! Glass for me too

 

It is one of those things that you keep coming back to, whatever the material is, that pin is fascinating.

 

They remind me of the papyrus(?) they put on everything during the Egyptian Revival.

 

The do look rather like Egyptian stylized papyrus or lotus blossoms. Closer to papyrus, I think, which is more fan-shaped than lotus.

 

Another vote for Egyptian style papyrus.
