You need to have a closed surface in order to be able to apply a material. If you haven't used a closed curve as Marc suggested, you can still make it such by applying Peter's 'Thicken' script. You will need to convert the spline to a triangle mesh first, though.

I used a closed curve fineshed with control-double-click. If I keep radius to 0.0 the lathe will create a closed surface, else, I get a open surface that can't use material.
Lathe can generate open surface from closed curve too. Its depend of radius value.
Thicken script resolved this problem.
Thanks!

why I cant set material in lathed object?
There are trick do do this?
I modeled a glassy bowl
Did you use a closed curve?
