周桂珍的紫砂作品大气、豁达、洒脱中也蕴含着女性的秀丽与和美。近代的艺术大师中如刘海粟、朱屺瞻、冯其庸等都曾在周桂珍的壶上题诗作画。与韩美林、张守智的合作，更引领了紫砂的新风。中国国家博物馆、中国工艺美术馆、南京博物馆院、香港茶具文物馆、台湾历史博物馆，都相继收藏她的紫砂作品。她所制作的集玉壶，1978年曾被选为*首次访问日本的国家礼品，其制作的曼生提梁壶则被中南海紫光阁选作陈列工艺品。
壶盖落周桂珍暗款，这与壶把落款目的是一致的，表示壶盖，壶柄为原装，并非后配，或者修复过的，越是这种弯曲多变的壶盖，想要做的严丝合缝是极为困难的，只有紫砂大师才能由此功力。
周桂珍的艺术，具有最明显的两个特色，一个是扎实的功力、严谨的制作，她可以细到毫巅，严到极处。这一方面，可以说她是接受了顾景舟大师的真传；但另一方面，她的艺术，又有以往的紫砂艺人所少有的自由气息，她既可以严守绳墨，又可以不守绳墨。她的严守绳墨是因为艺术的需要，她的不守绳墨也是为艺术的需要，为的是要突破常规，独辟新径。由于前者，她可能无愧地称是顾老的嫡派传人，由于后者，她又可以说是顾老艺术的发展、创新、突破，最后达到超越。
这把紫砂壶造型自然，品相完美，此壶断水一流，周桂珍作为壶王顾景舟的大弟子，其作品深受市场欢迎，而在七八十年代周桂珍的紫砂壶收藏成本很低，这就造就了一批紫砂壶爱好者，带来了极大的收益，成为紫砂壶收藏里的一匹黑马，此壶十分耐赏，极具收藏价值。
紫砂壶是中国一种传统茶壶，相传源自宋代至明武宗正德年间。制作紫砂壶的材料是紫砂矿土，由紫泥、绿泥和红泥三种基本泥构成，统称紫砂泥。因产自江苏宜兴，又称宜兴紫砂。好茶者认为，用紫砂壶泡茶，茶味隽永醇厚，紫砂壶因其特殊的双气孔结构，能吸收茶香茶色茶味，因此茶壶使用越久，泡出来的茶越香越醇。因紫砂壶吸色吸味的特点，有“一壶不侍二茶”之说。
蒋蓉（1919年~2008年2月19日），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*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。

蒋蓉大师文思敏捷，才华出众，从艺70多年，把毕生精力都贡献给了紫砂事业。她对紫砂紫砂艺术有着非常深刻的理解，她认为：艺术是发现、提炼、厚积薄发；技术是千锤百炼、功到自成。紫砂壶艺是文化和技术共同积累的结果，和其他所有艺术一样，技术是艺术的基础，而艺术是能给人们精神上赏心悦目的享受。
这把壶的周边有着不规则的纹理，凹凸有致，好比是一颗阴沉木的表面，饱经腐蚀之感，表面有一种阴沉木的硬感，一种碳化质感，端面形似横切面，几只动物点缀，加以植物的枝叶浮与端面，给人一种自然之美，可见壶身的枝叶与壶盖进行的完美的结合，其执壶工艺极其高超。
这个壶盖也有暗记款，蒋蓉款，外形好似一个灵芝头，有着吉祥如意的寓意。
底款落蒋蓉款十分规整，边缘起伏多变，横过来看形似一把平安锁的外形，而平安锁寓意着平安如意，此壶也是带着这种美好的隐藏寓意，在艺术实践中，蒋蓉大师善于将动植物、花果等自然形体，经过艺术提炼、创造，自如运用于紫砂作品之中，设计与造型逼真，融合了艺术美感与自然生趣，形象色泽及表面肌理都有妙趣天成之感。其创作大多以自然界瓜果、动植物为题材，表现手法以仿生为主，作品形象生动、色彩绚丽，形成了独特的紫砂艺术风格，此壶可以说蒋蓉大师在仿生类紫砂艺术方面的造诣，代表了一个时代的高峰，蒋蓉的紫砂壶市场稀缺，具有极高的收藏价值。
