已未年仲春月畫于珠山

 

The last 已未年 is 1979. The one before that would be 1919. (60-year cycle)

仲春 is the second month of spring (lunar calender). So approximately March.

畫 to draw, to paint

于 preposition indicating location

珠山 place name, supposedly in Jindezhen, Jiangxi since it's on a piece of porcelain.

 

Put together it means: Painted in Zhushan, March, 1919.

 

That porcelain painting is supposed to be by 珠山八友. But I find the seal (之印 if I'm not mistaken) and the use of 于 (instead of 於) very suspicious.
