Just from experience, most product photography is now shot just like you've done, and dropped out with a path to a white only background. If you do need a shadow, it is created in black only, to eliminate any scumdot produced when you go to print. Very rarely do you shoot to eliminate the shadow anymore. it's all post processing.

It's almost as if you've tried, successfully I might add, to get the flattest light possible. You subjects have no depth. If you cut off the top portions of the bowls they would look like flat pieces of wood.
