I think the basic noun would be gàibēi (蓋杯.) The trouble is, this word is also applied to what would more narrowly be called a gàiwǎn. You can distinguish that lidded mug from a gàiwǎn by adding the attributive (more or less the same as an adjective) yǒubǐng (有柄), which means “having a handle”. But there may well be other ways of saying it...
