I have several faces

I lay on my side

If you empty me out I have nothing to hide

Line my faces and you’ll see my figure

Together the lines create a figure with eight

What am I?

You are

A Rubin vase

I have several faces

A vase figure formed by two faces. Does two count as "several"? Hmm...

I lay on my side

A cup stands in the middle. Not on its side generally, but I'm sure you can achieve the same effect by depicting the cup on its side?

If you empty me out I have nothing to hide

In a whited-out image you can clearly see the figures.

Line my faces and you’ll see my figure

The faces form the figure of a cup.

Together the lines create a figure with eight

The number 8 looks like an hourglass or a cup.

    $\begingroup$ A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. Sorry, but given this answer I think it's a bad riddle. $\endgroup$ Nov 24, 2018 at 14:31
