Thanks for the votes and comments everyone! I wasn't overly happy with this shot but it was my only idea, so glad it placed where it did.
Setup:
Items placed on a mirror with white seamless paper as the backdrop. One studio flash behind the table aimed at the background. The lamp was turned on but didn't make much of a difference in lighting up the shade.

I recognize this pitcher! Nice work on the lighting and setup! The photo is a little unbalanced in it's composition to me. The tall light and the short pitcher are somewhat mismatched. I would also like to see more at the bottom. The photo is unbalanced in it's placement in the frame as well. Too far to the bottom in m opinion. However the tones are great with quite a range of blacks to whites and the lighting is wonderful with great shadows to highlights but no blowouts or loss of detail due to being too dark.
