In the Amsterdam airport, in some urinals, a ceramic fly is incorporated as part of the final ceramic glazing/ firing process. I believe the story with those (and maybe with the fly to which you are referring) is this. The firm which was responsible for keeping the urinals tidy at the airport decided that there must be some solution to keeping the facilities cleaner. Apparently, the "aim" went everywhere. So... By having something specific to aim at, near the drain, the problem was solved. I think the company also won some sort of award for their creative solution.
I guess I should explain how I saw this. While my husband and I were waiting for a plane at the airport, he came out of the men's room & said to me, "You have to see this. They really are there." He had read about them in an article some time ago. It is a whimsical but ingenious solution.
