About This Product
Bortoletti glass stamp and wax seal set – Martini is a refined Venetian sealing accessory handmade from Murano glass and enriched with embedded silver leaf beneath clear crystal. Designed for use with interchangeable 22 mm Bortoletti wax seal stamps, it brings luminous colour, elegant detail, and fine Italian craftsmanship to stationery, invitations, and gift presentation.
Bortoletti glass stamp and wax seal set – Martini
The Bortoletti Martini glass stamp and wax seal set is a beautifully decorative Murano glass sealing accessory handmade in Venice for customers who appreciate fine Italian craftsmanship, heritage-inspired desk accessories, and elegant stationery details. Enriched with delicate silver leaf beneath transparent crystal, it combines colour, light, and traditional Venetian artistry in a form that feels both luxurious and distinctive.
Handcrafted Murano glass with silver leaf detail
Each Martini seal is handmade by the master glassmakers of Bortoletti using traditional submerged lume techniques. A fine sheet of silver leaf is embedded within the Murano glass and encased beneath clear crystal, creating a luminous finish that catches the light beautifully. This gives the handle a rich, jewellery-like appearance and makes each piece visually striking both in use and on display.
Available in nine Murano glass colours
The Martini glass seal is available in a choice of Black, Blue, Turquoise, Aquamarine, Green, Amethyst, Amber, Red, and Ivory. This range makes it easy to coordinate your wax seal handle with wedding palettes, personalised stationery, desk accessories, or gift preferences.
Compatible with interchangeable wax seal stamps
The Martini 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 selection of decorative symbols. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for customers who want to personalise their sealing tools for different projects, occasions, and styles of correspondence.
A refined choice for elegant stationery
With its rich colour and metallic detail, the Martini is especially well suited to wedding invitations, luxury correspondence, special occasion stationery, decorative gift wrapping, and wine bottle presentation. It brings a more artistic and memorable finish to wax sealing, helping envelopes and presentation pieces stand out with genuine Venetian character.
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 create a crisp impression. Allow around 20 seconds before lifting the seal to achieve the clearest result.
Product dimensions and compatibility
This glass sealing accessory 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 allows you to change between 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.
Bortoletti Italian craftsmanship

The Martini design reflects that heritage through its hand-finished glasswork, silver leaf detail, and timeless styling. It is a sealing accessory that combines practical function 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:
