There is a silvering in the vacuum flask in order to reduce the loss of heat through the means of radiation.
why are vacuum flasks called vacuum flask
The outer surfaces do not need to be shiny. The interior ones do, to reflect heat back rather than let the heat pass out of the vacuum flask. The vacuum between the double walls of the flask also reduces heat loss.

The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
it is the cup that comes on a vacuum flask

why are vacuum flasks called vacuum flask
Also known as a Buchner or vacuum flask, the flask uses vacuum to filter samples. A vacuum hose is attached to the hose barb and the funnel is placed on top. As the hose creates a vacuum, the sample is filtered through the funnel.
a vacuum flask is not 100% vacuum. it contains some particles or gas molecules which absorbs a small amount of heat.
When water freezes becoming ice it expands. In a vacuum flask as ice melts it will contract. This will cause the flask to crack.
There could be a crack or leakage that allows air to flow in or out of the flask. It may be time to replace the flask with a new one.
Thermos flask or vacuum flask.
