Dear Luis,

The mark reads (when you put it upside down) "Da Qing Tongzhi nian zhi" (Made in the great Qing perode during the reign of emperor Tongzhi, who reigned from 1862 till 1974). But I think it's not made during that periode but was made somewhere in the 20th century. I think the emperor would'nt be happy with that number 7 on it what is (what I think )just a modelmumber. About the family.....when you take it strictly; famille verte, noire and jaune should be Kanxi and famille rose should be Youngzheng or Qianlong. Its not only the color what's make the difference but also the kind of enamels (translucent or opaque). Everything made after these periodes are "in style of". The first thing I notice when I see your bowl/pot is the black background so I would call it (in style of) famille noire(black). So, now waiting (with you) for some other opinions.

best regards,

Arjan
