Handmade in Italy, this elegant set is ideal for personalised stationery, wedding invitations, luxury correspondence, gift wrapping, wine bottles, and special occasion presentation.
A classic sealing kit for elegant stationery
Designed for customers who appreciate heritage-inspired desk accessories and traditional finishing details, the Rialto set includes the key tools needed to begin sealing with confidence. Its combination of a wooden handle, interchangeable wax seal stamp, sealing wax, and alcohol burner makes it a practical and attractive introduction to wax sealing.
What is included in the set
This Bortoletti sealing kit includes a wooden wax seal handle, an interchangeable 22 mm wax seal stamp, two sealing wax sticks, an alcohol burner, presentation packaging, and a certificate of guarantee. It is a compact and useful set for customers who want a traditional wax sealing experience with premium Italian styling.
Personalise your wax seal stamp
The Rialto wax seal can be customised to suit your preferred style. Choose from English cursive initials, Gothic initials, block letters, or double initials in a wide range of combinations. This makes the set well suited to monogrammed stationery, bespoke invitations, decorative wrapping, and personal gift presentation.
Decorative finish and durable stamp insert
The interchangeable stamp insert is crafted in bronze with a refined nickel-silver plated finish, combining decorative character with reliable performance. This construction helps produce crisp impressions while giving the set a traditional appearance that fits beautifully with fine stationery and heritage-style writing accessories.
Clean burning for better wax seal results
The included alcohol burner produces a clean, soot-free flame that helps prevent the wax from blackening during melting. For best results, 90% pure alcohol is recommended to provide a stable and more odourless flame. This is especially useful when using lighter wax shades, helping the finished seal retain its true colour and a cleaner appearance.
Yield and practical performance
The two included sealing wax sticks allow you to create more than 35 wax seals, depending on the depth and size of each impression. A good sealing wax should melt smoothly, flow evenly, and remain workable long enough to produce a clear and detailed seal. For the best finish, allow approximately 20 seconds after stamping before lifting the seal.
Alternative ways to use the set
Wax can also be melted using a spoon or strainer held above the alcohol burner flame. For pre-made wax seals, pour the melted wax onto a silicone mat, stamp the design, allow it to cool, and then attach it using double-sided adhesive. This method is particularly useful for wedding invitations, batch stationery work, and gift wrapping prepared in advance.
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.
Product dimensions and compatibility
The Rialto wax seal stamp measures 22 mm in diameter and is designed as an interchangeable format compatible with Bortoletti wax seal handles. This makes it a practical option for customers who want to build a personalised sealing collection with different initials, symbols, or decorative styles.

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.
Here is a video showing one method I found on YouTube:
