I shot a quick example of how someone could take a suitable photo for eBay last night. I didn't want to move stuff around and so I got a "fair" result. I decided that I couldn't let it stand and say, "Just take my word for it," so I moved some stuff out of my way to gain the lighting angle that I prefer and recommended to our asker.

In fact, once you are on the first photo, just click on the other cream pitcher in my photostream and you can swap quickly.
As I said under the photo, it's not quite catalog material yet, but it's an improvement. It's just a point and shoot camera, too, like anyone might already own. The only special equipment needed is a tripod. Since you would be using the self-timer and a light-weight point and shoot camera, you don't even need to spend $100 and up on a tripod. Just a $25-50 tripod would be fine.
