It looks like you're using a specular light source.
You might get results you like better if you had a diffuse light source.
The following is my poor lazy man's version of a light tent or dedicated studio fixtures
For an object like this (appears to be a glass bowl or dish), something I've done in the past is to get a small light source, then (assuming the light source is below) support a reasonably flat glass plate or dish over it far enough away so it doesn't get too hot and hopefully won't cause a hot spot from the light.
Then I put a piece of paper or something translucent and uniform on the glass plate.
Then I place the glass object I want to photograph on top of the paper and let the light pass through the object. It creates a softer more uniform light without the glare.
Similar techniques can be used to light a solid object from the side or top.
As an alternative, you could try to make (or buy) a light tent like this one:
Just a thought. Maybe it will help. _________________ see my photography at john.seelbinder.org
Got to start saving again - that new lens was a few bob!, and unfortunately lights are not going to be high on priority at the minute, have booked onto a landscape photography course, for which that new tripod will be needed.
So might be greaseproof paper, or white sheet over over metal coat hanger job for the lights, might even try something different. got a few days to ponder it.

So far the cheap way has worked for me
But then I haven't been trying to do great studio shots either - it's just something to pass the time while I wait for the 18" of snow we got just today to melt.
