The real decision: bowl width, not just the label
Both Mason Cash Cane bowls are stoneware, suit food or water, and share the same classic lettered look. The meaningful differences are the 15cm versus 21cm width, the 700ml capacity of the smaller bowl, and the angled sides on the 21cm Non Tip model. Those details decide which dog each bowl suits and how it behaves at mealtime.
This comparison sticks to what the supplied product records confirm. Where a detail is not stated, treat it as an open question rather than a hidden feature.
What each bowl confirms about size and capacity
- Cane Lettered Dog Bowl 15cm: The Cane Lettered Dog Bowl is 15cm wide with a 700ml capacity and is described as ideal for medium and small dogs. This is the only capacity figure in the supplied records, so it is the clearest starting point for matching bowl to dog size.
Cane Lettered Dog Bowl 15cm - Cane Non Tip Lettered Dog Bowl 21cm: The Cane Non Tip Dog Bowl is 21cm wide; the supplied record does not state a capacity. The wider footprint points to a larger bowl, but without a stated capacity you cannot compare volume directly with the 700ml Lettered bowl.

Why the 15cm Lettered bowl suits small and medium dogs
The 700ml capacity and 15cm width are a practical match for small and medium dogs, which is exactly the use the listing describes. If you feed smaller portions or change water frequently, this is the more proportionate bowl of the two.
Heavy-duty stoneware gives the bowl enough weight that the listing says it is difficult for even a playful dog to tip over. That makes the Lettered model a stable choice without the wider footprint of the Non Tip version.
Where the 21cm Non Tip bowl earns its extra width
The 21cm Non Tip bowl is built around stability and ear clearance. Its angled sides are designed for dogs with longer ears, letting them eat while keeping their ears out of the food or water. If your dog comes away from every meal with wet ears, that design detail is the main reason to choose this bowl.
The stoneware weight is also described as making the bowl difficult to move and tip over, even for the most playful dog. The trade-off is a larger bowl on the floor, and the supplied record does not give a capacity, so you cannot confirm portion volume from the listing alone.
Side by side: what actually differs
- Width and stated capacity: 15cm and 700ml on the Lettered bowl; 21cm on the Non Tip bowl with no capacity stated in the supplied record.
- Ear-friendly shape: The Non Tip bowl has angled sides intended for dogs with longer ears. The Lettered bowl's record does not describe angled sides.
- Stability: Both are heavy stoneware described as difficult to tip. The Non Tip model is explicitly marketed as non-tip.
- Care: Both are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe according to their listings.
- Price: Catalog prices are USD 17.92 for the Lettered bowl and USD 20.18 for the Non Tip bowl; check current pricing before ordering.
How to choose between them
Start with your dog's size and ear length. A small or medium dog with short ears is well served by the 15cm Lettered bowl and its stated 700ml capacity. A dog with long ears, or one that regularly shifts its bowl around, is the clearer candidate for the 21cm Non Tip design.
If capacity is your deciding factor, the Lettered bowl gives you a number to work with. The Non Tip listing does not, so measure how much you typically serve and compare that with the 700ml reference rather than assuming the wider bowl holds a specific amount.
Care and handling both bowls share
- Dishwasher safe: Both records confirm the bowls can go in the dishwasher.
- Microwave safe: Both listings state microwave safety, which suits dogs that prefer warmed food.
- Freezer safe: Both can be used in the freezer, useful for chilled water or frozen treats.
- Stoneware handling: Heavy duty stoneware is durable, but the records do not give drop or impact guidance, so handle both bowls with normal care.
What the listings leave open
The supplied records do not state a capacity for the 21cm Non Tip bowl, a recommended dog weight range for either bowl, or specific cleaning temperatures and methods beyond dishwasher, microwave and freezer safety. They also do not confirm whether the Lettered bowl has angled sides.
Use the confirmed measurements and the ear-clearance design as your guide, and treat anything else as something to verify with the retailer before you buy.
