Repeat Motif
Judging from the white color of the clay and the light gloss, I think that this piece is made of porcelain. There is a repeat motif made from blue slip around the top of the bowl.
In many China pieces made in Europe they use something called "decals" that are used like the decals on a window, they are designs made elsewhere and they "stuck" on to the surface of the pot. The are fired last at a much lower temperature. This is why some of these kinds of designs wear off first. You will notice this on some of the oder pieces of china in homes.
