About This Product
Bortoletti glass wax seal stamp – Milani is a beautifully handcrafted Venetian wax seal handle made from Murano glass with delicate fused aventurine threads. Designed for use with interchangeable 22 mm Bortoletti wax seal stamps, it brings colour, sparkle, and fine Italian craftsmanship to wedding stationery, correspondence, and elegant gift presentation.
Bortoletti glass wax seal stamp – Milani
The Bortoletti Milani glass wax seal stamp is a refined Murano glass sealing accessory handmade in Venice for customers who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, decorative stationery tools, and heritage-inspired desk accessories. Enriched with delicate aventurine threads fused into the glass, this elegant piece combines colour, light, and Venetian artistry in a form that feels both practical and luxurious.
Handcrafted Murano glass with aventurine threads
Each Milani wax seal handle is handmade by the master artisans of Bortoletti using traditional lampworking techniques. Fine threads of aventurine are fused into the Murano glass to create subtle sparkle and depth, giving every piece its own distinctive character. This interplay of colour and shimmer makes the Milani especially appealing both as a functional sealing accessory and as a decorative object for a writing desk.
Available in five Murano glass colours
The Milani glass wax seal stamp is available in a choice of Black, Blue, Turquoise, Red, and Ivory. Each colour works beautifully with the aventurine threads, creating a luminous finish that reflects the light and gives the handle an elegant Venetian presence.
Compatible with interchangeable wax seal stamps
The Milani handle is designed for use with interchangeable 22 mm Bortoletti wax seal stamps. It can be paired with English cursive initials, Gothic lettering, block letters, double initials, or a range of decorative symbols. This gives you the flexibility to personalise your wax seal for weddings, monogrammed stationery, gift wrapping, and special occasion correspondence.
A refined choice for elegant correspondence
With its decorative Murano glass finish and rich colour options, the Milani is especially well suited to wedding invitations, luxury correspondence, gift wrapping, special occasion stationery, and distinctive gifting. It adds a more artistic and memorable finish than a plain sealing tool, helping every wax seal impression feel more personal and considered.
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. Allow approximately 20 seconds after stamping before lifting the seal to achieve a crisp impression. For the best result, use sealing wax that melts smoothly and remains workable long enough to capture the engraved detail clearly.
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 sealing range. This makes it easy to build a personalised collection of initials and symbols while continuing to use 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.
Bortoletti Italian craftsmanship
Bortoletti is an Italian maker associated with Venice, Murano glass, traditional decorative craftsmanship, and fine desk accessories. The Milani design reflects that heritage through its hand-finished glasswork, aventurine detailing, and elegant presentation. It is a sealing accessory that combines practical use with the artistic identity of Venetian craftsmanship.

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:

Can I change the seal letter on the Milani stamp (use 2 letters with 1 handle) or do I need 1 stamp per seal initial? thanks
Hi Rosamund,
The seal stamps (letters and symbols) are fully interchangeable. So, you can have as many seal stamps as you wish to use with just one handle.
They simply screw on and off, but are very secure.
I hope that helps.
