Here are the two bowls which Dom had already purchased prior to me arriving in Haiti. They are the Diana bowls.
Einstein told us that several years ago he was at an Artisan Fair at the Javitz Center in New York City. A woman at his booth love his work, but asked him if he could make her a custom piece. She sketched out the shape she wanted, left a number to contact her and left Einstein to his work.
He was immediately approached by the other artists who asked him if he knew who she was. He said no, they told him that it was Lady Diana. He immediately called home and had the order rushed, they turned over the product in a week.
He then delivered the bowl back to her. She asked him what she owned him, and he asked her if he could use her name on the bowls instead of taking payment. The Diana bowl is now one of his top cellars. And to think Dom bought them without knowing that story...he must just have great taste!
