then adjust the reflectivity level..

i was in a hurry so,, anyway, here it is ...

assign a lambert material to the bowl and check the attrubutes of it.. and turn on visible in reflections(as in the pic attached in the last post)

assign a blinn or a phong material to the table and dont forget to turn on raytracing in the Render Globals..

hope this is clear..

not sure about your situation though
