蔡榮祐在台灣當代陶藝發展史上，是以為具標竿性的重要藝術家，是台灣第一個將陶藝作品帶入藝術市場的陶藝家，也是台灣第一個讓社會一般大眾，認識到現代陶藝的魅力。蔡榮祐，從生活中的陶罐出發，卻不從傳統的形體、釉彩的侷限，藉著他對藝術的理解、對生命的體悟，為台灣的現代陶藝豎立了一座穩實的高峰，是戰後台灣美術史上不容輕忽的一位重要藝術家。
Jung-Yu Tsai is a landmark figure in the history of contemporary ceramics in Taiwan. He was the first ceramist in Taiwan to bring ceramic art into the art market, and the first to introduce the general public to the charm of modern ceramics. Starting with humble vessels from daily life, Tsai broke free from the constraints of traditional forms and glazes. Through his understanding of art and reflections on life, he established a solid and influential peak in Taiwan’s modern ceramic art, making him an essential artist in the postwar history of Taiwanese fine arts.
