My tentative reading is;
趙紫　-　Zhao Zi　
The first 趙 is sure, but I have some uncertainity about the seconｄ 紫　character.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Many thanks for the reading of this seal.
Could it be manufacture seal, allowing to have an idea of a period for the making of this bronze vase?

趙　- Zhao is a common Chinese surname
紫　- Zi could be the abbreviation of 紫銅 zitong - Red copper →　 Zhao Bronze Foundry
The copper marking itself looks somewhat battered, like over a hundred+ years old.

With regards,
I.Nagy
