Lighting is important. Black background might have fooled your meter... post the shots and maybe we can see what went wrong.

try to use light panels, soft boxes, wafer or ambience light and reflectors...sometimes you need to bend the lights......those reflection on the porcelain and jade can be harsh....... be carefull....GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!
