some hints:
for sure, turn of florescent lights. they turn things green.
use photo floods when available. i use clamp lights
from fleet farm./brooder style/porcelain fixtures...about 5 bucks.
hang them from wires in the ceiling.
curve your formica. clamp it to your table with spring clamps (woodworking)
i have an old strobe light hanging above my formica.
fills in all the odd shadows and lights up the pot inside.
so, combine flash, flood, but no big ambient light. i draw the
shades. photo floods last about an hour..but i just have
things ready to go, and start shooting.
5 bulbs last one shooting.
cheap when you consider a top pro will charge you a thousand
dollars for 24 slides.

Or try a very different approach:
I set up my photo backdrop OUTSIDE on an overcast day.
Bright, even lighting... full spectrum... few shadows.
I sometimes still use a flood or flash, but I find outdoor
lighting is the easiest way to "light" my pots. (Indoors
I find myself fussing and repositioning lights to get rid
of all the shadows.)

Rachael Campbell talks about 'Photo Studio in a Box' which sounds like a
great idea. I might look into it for bigger projects.
There is one other way I have been able to get really good pictures of tiles
that I would like to share. You can place them directly on the flat bed of
a scanner and scan directly into the computer. Then you can crop them and
usually need to only increase the brightness 20-30% and they look great.
