I would describe it as an old fashioned or stone "hot water" bottle.

I'm not sure that I can describe it in English but I will try,
Add a cylinder that is tangential to the lathe object and the base and has a
radius that suits your model (This is easier when you use a modeller and you can
see where things touch. :P). Add a box where one face goes through the tangents
of the cylinder and lathe object at the top and the cylinder and base. Turn that
into a CSG difference (you may need to add extra boxes to clean it up) with the
cylinder subtracted from the box. You should now have an object that is a
"filler".

I've not tried it but it is the way I do these things.
