We have done the same thing also...and found round bottles, stoppers, etc.
come out way better scanned...than by using a digital camera! Draping the
paper over the item works...and for other times...we simply put a cardboard
(paper ream box) lid over the scanner glass since the scanner lid cant bend
to accomdate.
It's probably best to use a protective sheet of plastic or glass...so you
dont scratch the scanner glass....but this is more necessary with
prehistoric stone artifacts (we learned the hard way)...or historic metal
items. Glass doesnt seem to scratch glass. ?
