Ceramic bowl with dragon decoration. The colorful print is cute. The "thunder pattern" (雷紋, raimon) drawn on the rim is a pattern based on lightning and is said to symbolize a bountiful harvest. The dragon painting, considered a messenger of the Emperor of Heaven in ancient China, is considered an auspicious pattern, and it is meant to wish for the good fortune of the person eating and the prosperity of the shop. The "囍" drawn in the center is the character "double happiness" (双喜, shuāngxǐ) in Chinese, which is two "喜" characters combined, and it means something auspicious.
