 color: looks more yellow- if you go to selective color(I have ps so i will use that as my reference) and go under the yellow setting you can adjust it to more of a white color then go to the white and lower the black levels to get a truer white.(this will also help with the milk color)
 for this subject i would suggest a rule of thirds to give it more interest factor. the centered crop doesnt do this beautiful tea cup any justice.
 your lighting seems ok but there is a bit of a hot spot(spot where light is the strongest and is blown out  with little to no detail) try backing up your light source and placing a second one on the other side for more even lighting. I hope i have helped you as that is my only intention. If you have any questions about what i mentioned here please feel free to PM me anytime. good luck and have a great day!

		| | The picture seems to have a yellow tint to it.  Levels or yellow desat might have helped. |

		| | This has no visual appeal whatsoever.  It isn't tack sharp, the cup is dead centered like a target and the background doesn't appear that white.  Maybe take an interesting piece of stemware, place it to one side using the rule of thirds, have a really focused image and go from there. To clean up the beigy tones of the background, use a selective color adjustment and remove the black, cyan, magenta and yellow. |
