Help attributing "Peony"
 

Painting a good level, birth, I think, some sort in 1940-50-ies., And perhaps even earlier (see reverse side of the canvas stretcher and).

A flicker-free signature is not obtained?

This is a good painting, it is absolutely professional. Peonies are written with knowledge and themselves pions. Wrote someone from whom they are growing in the country ...

If the vase without a pattern (I can not tell from the photo), then such a hair's worth exactly on my terrace.

Vase painted with "Autumn Leaves". Please pay attention to the old stretcher and canvas on the back. Somehow, no one interested in the artist's signature, all statements about the bush. For intrigue, I might add that the work in the Soviet era graced a solid institution with a large picture of the brothers Tkachev.
More specifics, gentlemen!
Sincerely, Alexander

Easier for you to: make out the signature-recognized author. :)

In my view, frame and canvas are not signs of aging, and the signs of poor storage, for example in a wet basement.
I see that the work of 60-ies, but with traces of mold on the back of the canvas.
A front side cleaned?

Perhaps you're right. Since the beginning of perestroika, many works have been moved to the basement (from personal experience). Perhaps this is 1960. To me the work came in this form, what you see now, no cleaning, I did not hold, except for dust. Pigment layer has traces of aging and in some places craquelure.
