Your bowl has an apocryphal mark that reads "da ming tian qi nian zhi" (great ming dynasty tianqi year mad). The tianqi emperor ruled from 1621-1627. In my opinion Your bowl is a later replica (There are numerous of these bowls on the Internet with a wide variety of marks) that does not match the quality of authentic examples.The decoration is too simple and the colour of the cobalt blue is not right for instance. If I had to venture a guess regarding the dating I would say mid 20th century. But I would be interested to hear what others here in the forum have to say about it.

For similar later objects (with other reign-marks) see here:

This is a B&W Ming marked bowl.
I agree that this is a copy from the late 20th Century.
