Morphology

lidded = lid (transparent) = lid + ed

Regular adjectival/past-participial formation from the noun 'lid', meaning 'having or covered by a lid'.

Etymology

Lidded comes from the everyday word lid, which meant 'cover' in old English, and the ending -ed means 'having'. So a lidded jar is one 'having' a cover, and thinking of eyelid (the 'lid' for your eye) helps you remember it means 'covered' or 'with a lid'.
