Can I put leftover soup in the soup bowl directly on the gas stove to heat it up?

Because it is a ceramic bowl that looks like an earthen pot, it is easy to be confused about whether it can be heated directly over a gas flame. This makes one curious about the usable heat sources and precautions when heating soup.
