Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Pot Of Gold" is a mixed-media, steel-reinforced vinyl-and-metal sculpture, 18 x 10 x 8 inches, finished in Purple Haze and Sour Diesel Green with a gold grin and pot, and limited to 250 worldwide. Hand-numbered under the vase, it upgrades the Haze Bob form with metallic gold accents.
Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 250. The saved release record describes: numbered. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Pot Of Gold is the gold-accented tier of English's strain-named sculpture family, its gold grin and pot distinguishing it from the base Haze Bob colorway. At 250 worldwide, half the run of Haze Bob, the gold treatment and cannabis wordplay make it a step up in both scarcity and finish within the same sculptural line.
Collector Perspective
The 250-piece run and premium gold finish position Pot Of Gold above its 500-edition sibling in scarcity terms. Metallic accents can show wear, so inspect the gold grin and pot closely. Confirm the under-vase numbering out of 250. Collectors assembling a colorway set will prize the crisp, unblemished gold detailing.
Historical Context
English's 2018 sculpture program used tiered colorways, base, gold, and platinum, to create collectible hierarchies within a single form. Pot Of Gold occupies the gold tier, pairing the strain-named palette with metallic accents. The steel-reinforced, under-vase-numbered construction is shared across these hand-numbered editions.
