Bortoletti wax seal stamp set – Rezzonico
The Bortoletti Rezzonico wax seal stamp set is a beautifully made sealing kit that brings together traditional Italian craftsmanship and everyday practicality. Handmade in Italy, this compact set is ideal for personalised stationery, wedding invitations, luxury gift wrapping, wine bottles, and special occasion correspondence.
A refined wax seal set for elegant correspondence
Designed for those who appreciate heritage desk accessories and decorative finishing touches, the Rezzonico set includes everything needed to begin creating classic wax seals. The combination of a wooden handle, interchangeable stamp, traditional sealing wax, and a clean-burning alcohol burner makes it a practical and attractive choice for both personal use and gifting.
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 but complete set for anyone looking to create professional-looking wax seals with traditional character.
Personalise your wax seal stamp
The Rezzonico wax seal stamp can be customised with your chosen design, including an English cursive initial, Gothic lettering, block capitals, or double initials in a range of combinations. This makes it a versatile choice for monogrammed stationery, wedding correspondence, bespoke gift presentation, and meaningful personal touches.
Decorative metalwork and traditional materials
The interchangeable stamp insert is crafted in bronze with a refined nickel-silver plated finish, giving it a decorative and heritage-inspired appearance. Paired with the wooden handle, the overall design balances classic materials with elegant Italian styling, making it especially suitable for those who value both function and presentation.
Clean melting and reliable performance
The included alcohol burner provides a clean, soot-free flame to help prevent the wax from blackening during melting. For best results, 90% pure alcohol is recommended to achieve a stable and more odourless flame. This is particularly useful when working with lighter wax colours, helping them retain their true shade while producing a smooth and even pour.
Yield and practical use
The two included sealing wax sticks allow you to create more than 35 wax seals, depending on the depth and thickness of each impression. Quality sealing wax should melt evenly, flow smoothly, and remain workable long enough to achieve a crisp, detailed result. Allow approximately 20 seconds after stamping before lifting the seal for the best finish.
Alternative sealing methods
Wax can also be melted in a spoon or strainer held over the alcohol burner flame. For pre-made wax seals, pour the melted wax onto a silicone mat, stamp the design, allow it to cool fully, and then attach it using double-sided adhesive. This is a helpful method when preparing invitations or packaging details 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 Rezzonico wax seal stamp measures 22 mm in diameter and is designed as an interchangeable stamp format. This makes it suitable for use within the Bortoletti wax sealing system and a practical choice for customers who enjoy changing initials or styles across compatible Bortoletti handles and accessories.

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.
