Looks like Japanese Imari ware from latter part of 20th century looking at the wear on the foot !! It is either a rice bowl or could be a tea bowl !! You didn`t give the size of it !! Some Imari was hand painted but much of it is transferware !! As for the gold flake,, you could check the artist and see if it was part of his/her style !! There are ( looks like) poppies and chrysanthemums in the flowers which might help track down the pattern name !!
