0008396: Pottery image-bearing masterpieces mis-report their subjects
I've only seen it with porcelain yet, but it always happens when an image-bearing masterpiece is generated. I get a message like

Inod Sarā€¦mkol has created a masterpiece porcelain statue of white-browed gibbons!

Then look into the pottery workshop and don't see a single such statue. The last masterpiece statue was one of dwarves, which i wouldn't call white-browed gibbons (i happen to like my knees intact).

Every pottery masterpiece is misreported like this. Message: "statue of white storks" - actual item: mayor getting voted out of office.
Have a high-level potter, order them to make statues/crafts.
I haven't succeeded in crafting masterworks from (imported) clay yet, but it may be caused by the material getting transformed to something different in the crafting process? Maybe someone can try if glass statues have the same issue?
No tags attached.
