A typical thermos would have a flask (inner chamber inside of an outer chamber.) The inner layers (glass and vacuum) would be coated with mercury to allow heat rays to enter the flask and be reflected between the two layers; this prevents the transfer of heat.
Sometimes modern thermoses are made of stainless steel-Inside and out, so it does not shatter. It's naturally reflective so a reflective coating sometimes doesn't need to be added. Although other thermoses have a shiny interior coat insulator such as metal, to expel thermal radiation because it causes heat loss.
Thermoses often use rubber or cork material to make bottle stoppers, this prevents the glass container from touching the the outer container surrounding the flask so that conduction doesn't occur.
