like a cup?

two options
1: use two prims, one hollow, one to cap an end
2:use a sculpty

rare alternative, use a pathcut cylinder/sphere (only works well for certain shapes)

You can also make a 1-prim cylindrical cup shape with a tube prim.

Hollow 95% (or as desired)
Hole Size Y 0.50
profile cut begin 0.125, end 0.500
Y rotation 270 degrees

It will have an open top with a squared-off rim, and a closed bottom disc that has a small conical dimple on the inside.

Hollow a cube and taper it 1 and 1
or hollow a sphere and dimple one end

You never asked for a particular shape.

You might also want to search Places in-world for the Ivory Tower Of Primitives and wander around there for a bit.

Actually, no. There is no 'might' about it. You must go there. Go there. See the prim. Be the prim.
