The Ivy Leaf Group is one of the local pottery groups producing black-figure vases in Etruria in the second half of the 6th century BC. To date 57 vases are attributed to the group: 40 amphorae, 2 jugs, 5 kyathoi, 8 oinochoai and 2 dinoi. The Ivy Leaf vases have earlier been presented in lists by Dohrn 1937 and Drukker 1986.
