Morphology

unlipped = lipped (transparent) = un + lip + ped

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'lipped', indicating the absence of lips.

Etymology

Unlipped is made of the parts un- ('not') and lip ('edge' or the mouth part), so it paints a picture of something without the small rim or edge you expect. So an unlipped cup has no rim to pour from, and an unlipped flower or mouthpiece has no lip-like edge.
