Yes, the foot looks as if it is Yuan dynasty.

Thanks Peter, do you know what this was used for or was it simply a bowl used for rice, soup or for anything else, the dimeter is 12. cm.

Looks like a storage container of sorts. Lugs are usually for strings to be attached for carrying, but sometimes they may be used for storage. The container seems to be fully glazed inside, which would usually mean some liquid or food stuff was put inside.
When food was stored in containers without a lid usually a piece of cloth or similar was put on top and the whole was fixed with a string. But this could also have had a lid, originally.
