I'm convinced that the basin was self-refilling. It was not empty when
LV came to check on it, it was filled with potion, LV just turned it
from green to clear so that he could see through it. It is described
like this: "... he looked down upon a basin whose potion had turned
clear ..." ("The Sacking of Severus Snape". p.595 Am.ed.).

I know that Kreacher said in "Kreacher's Tale" that LV filled the
basin with more potion, but I think that the elf was not in the right
 condition to understand what was really happening, because he was in
agony after drinking the potion. I believe his words are not to be
trusted in this case, and the basin refilled itself.
