示用主→福用主 - Happiness to the user
大吉羊 - Very lucky sheep (year) !
The four persons could symbolize the four seasons with their representative flowers, excepting one boy with the reed-organ which could symbolize the promotion (sheng 升). The vases (ping 瓶) have a homophone meaning "peaceful" (ping 平)- year round peace.
However, I can't find explanation on the worm eaten peach.

With regards,
I.Nagy

I'd guess it may be late Qing or Republic. If it was actually made for sale in a year of the sheep/goat, you can take your choice of 1931, 1919. 1907, 1895 or thereabouts, with the Republic side possibly having an edge.

Best regards,

Bill H.
