Photographing a glass vessel

For this image, we needed a good representation of this piece of art. The challenge was to show it's semi-opaque nature and also show the raised details in the glass. Here's the setup:
- A bare bulb directly behind the object
- A large soft box directly to the right of the object at about 90° at the same height as the object
- Another large soft box behind and to the left at about 45° at the same height as the object
- White paper seamless as the background which gave an easy way to cut a slit to put the cord through for the bulb behind the object.
I decided to leave a few reflections of the soft box on the black parts of the object to show the difference between the gloss and matte parts. Even though they could be eliminated, a little bit of reflection and discrete hot spots visually indicates high gloss.
