The mark on the base is too unclear to offer a translation.However, the mark in the inside of the bowl reads "a hundred children, a thousand grandchildren".

The mark, shown leaning on it left side, appears to be a seal-script (zhuanshu) version of "Qianlong Nian Zhi", "Made during the Qianlong Reign", which was 1736-95. However, the dish, looks to be a contemporary transfer printed decorative piece.

Best regards,

Bill H.

The English invented transfer-ware in the year 1760
when did the Chinese start doing it?Lots of kiln grit on the foot of this piece.

The Dutch obtained the British transfer process not long after its invention and gave it to their trading partners in Japan, who went on to turn it into a national art form. However, the Chinese, with a much larger population and labor pool than Japan, found it more cost effective to continue training porcelain painting artists to decorate their kiln products until the early 20th century.

Sometimes in the kiln, 'grit happens', but on other occasions it is applied manually by the Chinese to activate the presumed predisposition of many Westerners to associate such trashiness with age.
