Many machine made mouthpiece tips are dished. That's a result of how they are machined. Five axis machines can produce well rendered facings without dishing the tip rail, or if a 3 axis machine is used, a different method of cutting the facing would be required to properly render a dish-less tip rail. D'Addario mouthpieces aren't dished, whereas ALL Vandoren mouthpieces are. Zinner facings were dished, etc.
It is also worth mentioning that as the facing gets bigger, the dish-effect increases proportionately.. So a Vandoren B45 has a larger dip than an M13 by comparison.
Incidentally, you might be curious what dishing the tip rail actually does to the playing experience. Well, it makes the instrument play with a reduction in resonance and response - all other things being equal.
