How was it done? First, read too much SciFi for too many years to get the idea.
Then, take one highly polished pewter beer tankard with a glass bottom, add a bit of foam covered in red paper with transparent pushpins inserted (along with one giant pushpin up-side-down in the center), Put that assembly under the mug. Place a desk lamp to the right, lift up the tankard just enough to capture some light in an arc. Reflects nicely in the pewter, doesn't it. take a few dozen pictures and process.
Nothin' to it.

A clever idea and a technical success, it's less than successful in an artistic sense. DOF control is good and the lighting isn't over done creating blooms. The subject is less than interesting and appears to be over sharpened. Perhaps a different background would have helped. A little more thought and better framing would have brought the rating higher.
