Bortoletti Teodato Murano Glass Wax Seal – Aventurine Detail
The SIG009 Teodato Wax Seal is a refined expression of Venetian artistry, handmade in Italy by the master glassmakers of Bortoletti.
Crafted from authentic Murano glass and enriched with shimmering lampworked aventurine encased beneath clear crystal, this seal reflects depth, light and colour in a truly distinctive way.
Handcrafted Murano Glass
The Teodato seal is produced exclusively in the Bortoletti workshop using traditional glassmaking techniques. Aventurine — known for its subtle sparkle and rich tone — adds character and elegance to every piece, making each seal uniquely beautiful.
The colouring and craftsmanship of Murano glass ensure that this is not only a functional writing instrument, but also a decorative object of significant aesthetic value.
Personalise Your Seal
The Teodato seal features an interchangeable stamp system, allowing you to select the design that best reflects your personal style:
- English cursive initials
- Gothic lettering
- Block capitals
- Double initials in all combinations
- Decorative symbols
Please ensure you select and purchase your chosen initial or symbol stamp to complete your seal.
How to Use
Melt sealing wax using an alcohol lamp, spirit burner or kitchen lighter. The wax should melt smoothly and remain workable long enough to create a crisp, detailed impression. Allow approximately 20 seconds before lifting the seal.
For additional elegance, gently apply gold or silver cream to the cooled wax impression to enhance the raised details.

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:
