Take a look at the two different photos of the same figurine. In the first, the background color influenced the color of the crystal which is 100% clear except for the flags.
The outline and facets on the sails and ship are hard to see. Details in the flags can't be seen. Now take a look at the ship photographed outside in the Fall under a shade tree. While this shot isn't the best that can be taken, it is an improvement.
In this photo you can at least see that the ship figurine is made with clear crystal. You can also see some detail in the flgs. However the gray tabletop does tend to blur the outline of the sails and the ship's body. If I were to photograph this ship again outdoors, I would either set it up with blue sky as the background or set it six or eight feet in front of a bush. The bush would simply fade into a background blur in the photo. The figurine would be far enough away from the bush so that there would be no color influence on the crystal.
If you are having trouble with bacground colors ruining your crystal photos, try taking your shots outdoors. With warm weather coming you'll find your outdoor photo activities enjoyable.
