Can you catch light in a pot?

I know I know.
The reason you can't catch light in a pot is because the light inside the pot gets reflected off of the inner surfaces and gradually losses it's brightness.

But imagine the pot is made up of vacuum. There is nothing for the light to get reflected off of and lose energy,right? So does the light stay as it is? Like you put some light inside our pot made of vacuum and close it off. The pot should "contain" light forever, right?
