蒋蓉（1919- 2008），别号林凤，江苏省宜兴市川埠潜洛人。1995年被授予“中国工艺美术大师”称号。 蒋蓉作品曾在全国工业会议上评为“特等奖”，并为周恩来总理出访东南亚等国家制作礼品。
1956年，江苏省人民政府任命她为紫砂工艺“技术辅导”，这在当时历史情况下是工艺界的一种最高荣誉和待遇。 蒋蓉的作品在中国紫砂工艺史上技术精湛，生动具真，别树一格，成为中国紫砂工艺史上第一位女工艺美术大师，曾任中国美术学会会员，中国工艺设计协会委员，江苏省工艺美术协会名誉理事，在仿生类紫砂艺术方面的造诣代表了一个时代的高峰。
此件拍品为“荷叶青蛙壶”，此壶为绿泥紫砂壶，整个壶身由荷叶包围，清风送爽，翻如浪花，壶嘴由新叶卷起，切出荷梗作鋬，添上嫩叶作盖，且在壶盖上配有青蛙，使其充满活力，栩栩如生，奇妙清心，耐人玩味。此藏品整体端庄大气，局部精致细腻，是工艺大师蒋蓉老师难得一见的精品，另外，此藏品保存完好，做工精湛，具有极高的收藏价值！
