This type of vessel is known as a 'marriage' bowl, and such bowls, with their carefully chosen auspicious decoration were popular at the Imperial Qing court. The present bowl is exceptional for the translucency of its stone, one of the fundamental qualities which the Qing carvers sought to emphasize.
