Thank you Adam and everyone else, I thought it was one I would never get to the bottom of and it was easily solved .

THANKS!!!!!

Just don't expect this quick an answer for everything, Roberta!
You have even had the maker themself confirming attrubution - and all within about 1.5 hours of putting the image up!

I know, I am completely amazed!
I seen things go backwards and forwards for months, endlessly discussed but still no positive attribution - I thought this was going to be one of those. To have the man himself ID it is fantastic 
I'm a very happy bunny, just need to sort out some lighting to display it properly now!

I have my own piece of Adam's work right in front of me. 
It sits on the mantlepiece behind my pc.
So from where I sit, it is plonk in the middle, just above my screen.
It's a much more recent piece, though. Another thing to add to my growing list of things I must photograph for the board. I'll add a pic here for you, when I've got one.

A very special one!

  I know,   but the story can wait until I can actually show it to people Adam.

It will mean a lot more when properly illustrated.

A very special one
I'm dying to see a picture now! you must get your camera out soon 

Got mine off ebay - just thought it looked really interesting with the use of the colours and the effect, was thrilled when it turned up, now I'm even more so!

Keep your fingers crossed the sun comes out tomorrow.

I bought mine directly from Adam, at the Fair in Cambridge in 2005. It's called "Thames, Midnight"  and it is Adam's interpretation in glass of a W. Turner painting of the river.

It worked, beautifully. 

The really sad side of the story, (now it's coming out anyway ) is that Adam wasn't been able to do it again - or at least couldn't get another to work out so well, at the time.
It was nearly 9 years ago, Adam. Any joy since?

I have just posted  my complete collection of Adam's work on Facebook Roberta, ... if you are a member, do feel free to take a look.  Many of the pieces date back to the early days at Turnmill Studios in London and there is also a special ellie with a rose in his trunk made for me at his new studio just a short drive from our home. 
It was finding an elephant that had a resemblance to Wedgwood ellies that first introduced me to Adam's work,  here is the early link Roberta, where you can see what a lovely sense of humour Adam has.

Rosie.   (Coincidently, I was going to be named Roberta after my uncle Robert!)

Hi,
I'm not a facebook member but my other half is, so will have a look tonight.
I was named after my great uncle Robert - my mum was convinced I was a boy so I was meant to be a Robert too, then hurriedly changed when I was a girl.

Adam sounds like a bit of a teaser, I would have fallen for that too
