How would I get a finish like the one on the sphere in this image?

  Looks like reflection exponent could do the trick.
  Perhaps you will need some blurred reflection as well, if you want
to emulate it exactly.

If the light source is bright enough (like 10 times brighter than everything
else), then simply using a low reflection value (like .1) should work fine
also. Blurred reflection will be necessary to get the soft look of the
highlight.
