Bortoletti glass wax seal stamp – Teodato
The Bortoletti Teodato glass wax seal stamp is a refined Venetian sealing accessory handmade in Italy from authentic Murano glass and enriched with lampworked aventurine detail. Elegant, distinctive, and rich in decorative character, it is designed for customers who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, heritage-inspired desk accessories, and the artistry of fine glasswork.
Handcrafted Murano glass with aventurine detail
The Teodato handle is produced exclusively in the Bortoletti workshop using traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques. Its Murano glass body is enriched with shimmering aventurine encased beneath clear crystal, creating depth, subtle sparkle, and a beautifully reflective finish. This decorative detail gives each piece a unique visual character, making it as appealing on a writing desk as it is in use.
Available in a range of glass colours
The Teodato glass wax seal stamp handle is available in a choice of Black, Blue, Turquoise, Amber, Green, Red, and Ivory. This variety makes it easy to choose a finish that suits your personal style, wedding stationery palette, desk accessories, or gift selection.
Compatible with interchangeable wax seal stamps
The Teodato handle is designed for use with interchangeable 22 mm Bortoletti wax seal stamps. It can be paired with English cursive initials, Gothic lettering, block capitals, double initials, or a wide range of decorative symbols. This makes it a versatile choice for customers who want to personalise their seal for correspondence, invitations, gift wrapping, and special occasions.
A decorative choice for elegant correspondence
Rich in colour and Venetian character, the Teodato is ideal for wedding invitations, love letters, thank-you notes, luxury business correspondence, and refined gift presentation. Its decorative Murano glass construction helps turn an everyday sealing tool into something more memorable, giving each finished wax seal a sense of occasion and individuality.
How to use
Fit the handle with your chosen compatible Bortoletti wax seal stamp, then melt your sealing wax using an alcohol lamp, spirit burner, or carefully with a kitchen lighter. A good sealing wax should melt smoothly, flow evenly, and remain workable long enough to take a crisp, detailed impression. Allow approximately 20 seconds before lifting the seal for the best result.
Product dimensions and compatibility
This glass wax seal stamp handle is designed to work with 22 mm interchangeable Bortoletti wax seal stamps, the standard size used across most of the Bortoletti wax sealing range. This gives you the freedom to use different initials, monograms, and symbol stamps while keeping the same decorative Murano glass handle.
Enhance your wax seal impressions
For an even more decorative finish, the raised details of your wax seal can be highlighted using Bortoletti wax cream, available in pots of gold or silver. This is a simple way to bring out initials, symbols, and engraved details, adding extra contrast and a more luxurious finish to your completed seal.

Hi Trina,
Thank you for asking. Bortoletti recommends using 90% pure alcohol or denatured alcohol (Methylated spirits) for a stable, odourless flame that does not burn or discolour the wax.
The two best, least expensive fuels for the alcohol lamps are denatured ethanol (ethyl alcohol; grain alcohol), and methanol (methyl alcohol; wood alcohol; methylated spirit); both can be cheaply obtained at hardware stores or home-improvement centers.
What is the alternative to denatured alcohol for alcohol lamp?
Try using >99% isopropyl alcohol. It's the closest in structure and physical properties. Denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol with methanol mixed in so it can be sold for non-food use.
Please note that Calligraphy Arts does not sell this as it requires specialist posting, but it is freely available at many hardware and cosmetic accessory stores.
I hope that helps,
Jane
Hello Irene,
Thanks for asking. To seal a lid on a jar, you need to heat the end of the sealing wax with something like a kitchen lighter and carefully drip the melted wax over the area you want to seal. Then, while the wax is still warm, you can press your stamp.
