Thank you very much - in fact it is a combination of lighting and material,
because material definitions were simple - the lamp frame definition used good
maps for diffuse, nomal and transparency - but nothing I couldn't emulate with
pov patterns (or I hope so)...

The vase used a specularity map I made for the gold part (2 h work), the
material looked like that -
#declare p_map1=pigment {image_map{jpeg "brownvase__u1_v1.jpg" gamma 2.2
interpolate 2}}
#declare p_map2=normal {bump_map{jpeg "brownvase_normals.jpg" gamma 2.2
interpolate 2}}
#declare p_map3=pigment {image_map{png "brownvase__u1_v1_s" gamma 1 interpolate
2}}

//==================================================
//Material definitions
#declare brownvase_=
#declare PR_DIFFUSE=pigment{p_map1}

#declare F1 = finish {specular 0.6 roughness 0.0003 diffuse 0.6 ambient 0
reflection {0.005, 0.015}}
#declare F2 = finish {specular 1 roughness 0.0003 diffuse 0.1 ambient 0
reflection {0.4 metallic}}

#declare N1=normal{p_map2
               bump_size 3
              }

#declare T1=texture{
                   pigment{uv_mapping PR_DIFFUSE }
                            finish{F1}
                        normal{uv_mapping N1 }
                    }

#declare T2=texture{
                   pigment{uv_mapping PR_DIFFUSE }
                        finish{F2}
                        normal{uv_mapping N1 }
                    }

material{
         texture{/*uv_mapping*/
                 pigment_pattern{uv_mapping p_map6 }
                 texture_map{
                     [0 T1]
                     [1 T2]
                     }}
}

 - so if there is something good about this basic material - it comes from the
combination of lighting and material...

Thank you for the compliment - I'm happy to give you some good feelings!
