Given to my dad, an M.D. general practitioner, in payment of his fee during the depression.

It is gorgeous, and I like the symmetry. There are some blueish areas. I'm guessing that these are reflections. To my eye they are slightly distracting. But the detail in the glass really comes through in your photo and I think this type of photo has to have sharp detail. It does.

Interesting shot of a nice antique. Did you try different lighting angles? I can imagine you getting very different results as you changed the angle.

That is a very interesting image, an abstracted view of an art object, full of detail, light variances, color and symmetry.
I like the reflected blues because of their complementary position on the color scale in references to the oranges.
This image could yield hours of fun playing with PP programs to push it further into abstraction, or even into monochrome abstraction.
Nice visualization, plan and execution.

I agree with erich. If the blue is reflections, would lighting from below help any?

A familiar pattern in the cut design. My grandmother and her sister-in-law both had several pieces cut like that. A pickle dish was passed down to me. It's stored away somewhere. We don't entertain much.

Thanks Minnie. Here is another shot of the bowl with a dahlia.

Hey Cambriaman---you don't have to entertain to have pickles. Dig it out----wash it off---fill it up--enjoy!!!!
Thanks for looking
