Nice cup, but you need a sky for it to reflect as well...the gray looks 
kind of empty. Also, you could get rid of the dark horizon by simply 
using a big box as the floor...big enough to give the same effect but 
small enough not to get dark. Or just spotlight the cup, so everything 
else fades to black.

Try adding a sky, either a plane or large dome will do the trick.

give the ground a different texture, a nice wood perhaps

and add photons :)

If you place a metallic or glassy cup on a table in the sunlight, you will
see strong caustics (reflected light) on the table. Without sunshine the
effect is still there but much more subtle.
