I don’t recommend ceramics for use in the microwave and only use items that specify that they are microwave safe.
Many ceramics contain metal oxides or they are used as a glaze. The microwave heats up the metals making the container hot. Anything that gets too hot (i.e. not designed for it) in the microwave can develop stress fractures over time. One day it could simply crack apart burning someone.

Marcos answer of NO is correct. Further, there is a scandal that many of these dishes state “microwave Safe” on them but get incredibly hot, and it turns out that there is no legal definition of that term. This was the focus of a class-action lawsuit, in which I serves as the class’s expert witness.
There is another source of overheating and that is unglazed ceramic that can absorb water and can then become hot when microwaved.
It is best to test any ceramic container or dish by placing it in the oven with a separate cup of water and microwaving for one minute – the dish should remain cool; if it doesn’t, use it in the microwave it with care.
