Yes. Porcelain is a heat-resistant material, and a well-made cup or bowl shouldn't have problems in the microwave.
Take a look at the glaze on your bowl too: if it doesn't have any cracks, it shouldn't leach material from the glaze into your food when you heat it, and it might not have as much trouble with heat shock. A smooth, shiny ceramic surface with no cracks will be safer to use.
A lot of potters use this test for their wares: fill your bowl/cup/etc. with water, and put it in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. If the bowl heats up to the point where it's uncomfortable to hold, you probably don't want to use it in the microwave.

∙ 15y agoTo eat out of? Yeah... unless it has some kind of lead glaze on it! Which is not common. Most dishes are now made of ceramic, and teacups are often porcelain. Oven safe- if it says so on the bottom, then yes. Otherwise, use caution. Also, Porcelain is probably not safe to put in the oven or microwave unless specified.

Why are porcelain dishes superior to wooden dishes?
Porcelain is a kind of high fire clay, and is safe and suitable in the oven. Glass meant to be used in the oven is also fired in a kiln and safe. There really isn't much difference between the two dishes and you should get the same results.
Can all porcelain go in the oven?
Porcelain is actually used in too general a way to simply say yes. Actually, thinner, decorative porcelain can't go in the oven. Only stoneware or porcelain specifically made for the purpose can. The best advice is to look at the label or for a stamp on the underside.
Are stoneware dishes dishwasher safe?
Yes they are.
Are silicone dishes microwave safe?

How can you tell if porcelain collectibles are valuable?
porcelain dishes and cups
Can you freeze food in a porcelain bake pan?
If the bottom of the dish says oven proof than yes, if it does not than I wouldn't risk it. The dish itself would be fine but the paint or sealant might not be if they are heated.
Can you use a oven safe dish even though the recipe call for dutch oven?
Not always. Some recipes calling for a dutch oven are first heated on the stove top to brown meat before adding other ingredients and placing in the oven. Most "oven safe" dishes are not safe to use on the stove top burners. But it would be safe to brown the meat in a skillet then transfer it to an oven safe dish for oven cooking.

Are corelle bowls oven proof?
no, it is too fragile and has not been 'tempered' to withstand high temperatures. YES!! The Corelle website says that it is oven safe in a PREHEATED oven to 350 degrees. Ref: http://www.corelle.com/index.asp?pageId=28
Can you bake on a ceramic plate?
Technically you could put them in the oven, but if you are planning to turn the oven on, I wouldn't recommend it.If the dishes are plastic, as most dishes labeled 'dishwasher and microwave safe' are, then they will melt if used in the oven. A microwave is safe as its only a few minutes, and a dishwasher uses hot water.
Is a bathtub more safe if it is not porcelain during a tornado?
Whether or not a bathtub is porcelain probably would not make a significant difference during a tornado. The type of porcelain from which bathtubs are made would not break in the same way that porcelain dishes can shatter. The important factor is the depth of the tub, and whether the sides are high enough to provide protection from the wind force and from flying objects.
