What color backdrop for glass photography?

Hi, I am an artist who recently got a BFA in sculpture. I now have a job working in a glass factory that does sandblasted etching and carving. We are a small company and our website is totally DIY. It is part of my job to take prodect photos for our website. I know a bit about photography, but nothing about taking pictures of glass. We are currently in the process of setting up a photo area for large items, like tables ect. I have done some online research about his type of photography and found some good tips (light from behinde or above, black panels to either side, etc.), but I have to choose a backdrop. What color should it be? It is very important that the etched art be visible. I am thinking maybe a light color, and if we shine the light on one area, the others will be dark in the photo, but what do I know? Someone please adivse me because I really don’t know what I’m doing. Any other good glass photo tips would also be welcome!
thanks

I just shot some glass, I set up a table and used a swoop. I used a light blue background I used two hotlights and put diffusers in front of them to kill the shadows, I had both of my lights metered at the same f stops. Another time that I shot glass with hotlights I had three lights, put one on the left side one on the rigth side and make one back light. The two lights in the front had diffusers the back had none, my light on the right was one stop higher than the one on the left, which was one stop higher than the back light
