Thanks to those that responded to my question on translucent images before.
We used the best halogen light that we could find in town. (Halogen 50W) We
had difficulty with spotting the light only inside the bowl. The solution
will probably be to find a much narrower spotlight and we realized we will
need a much stronger W to really show off the translucency. Other regular
things like shadows and lighting up the foot well enough also created
trouble, so we will continue to explore the options. Have to say it
frustrates the hibi-jibies out of me. I have posted some images on my
website under "porcelain" for anyone interested to look at. Comments are
welcome.

Antoinette:

I went on line and came up with the address:

Check out page 79 of their online catalog--the produce is called
Photoblack foil.

It should do the job of directing the amount of light you need to
illuminate your porcelain objects.
