Heat can be transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, radiation. In a vacuum flask, conduction and convection are greatly reduced through a vacuum (hence the name!) between two glass layers, whereas radiation is greatly reduced by the mirror coating on the same glass. As a result, heat takes much longer to get out - or in, since you can also keep cold things in a vacuum flask.Note that no vacuum flask will keep things hot (or cold) indefinitely; it simply takes much longer for hot things to cool down, or for cold things to heat up.

Glass is a poor conductor of heat, meaning it doesn't easily transfer heat from the hot tea inside the teapot to the cooler air outside. This results in the tea staying hot for a longer period of time compared to other materials that are better conductors of heat.

Why will a shiny silver teapot keep tea hot for longer than a dull brown one?

A shiny silver teapot has higher reflectivity, which means it reflects more heat back into the teapot, keeping the contents hotter for longer. A dull brown teapot absorbs more heat, leading to quicker cooling of the tea inside.
