Can I use this bowl in the oven/broiler for finishing French Onion Soup?

I wouldn’t unless I was 100% sure of what the bowl was made of. I have a feeling this would crack.

I definitely would not. It doesn’t say oven safe. And even some oven safe dishes aren’t safe under a broiler.

Wouldn’t risk it if I were you.

If it’s actual ceramic, which is hard to tell from the image, it should be oven-safe for the brief time needed to brown the cheese, as any ceramic bowl is fired to at *least* 1200 degrees.
The biggest worry would be the possibility the image is painted rather than fired on, but with soup in the bowl, the image part is not going to get over 212 degrees anyway, and not even close to that hot during a brief broiling. And the soup will pre-heat the bowl to further reduce the chance of thermal shock.
Put it on a cookie sheet, though, or the rack might get hot enough to selectively heat-shock it. And if the bowl does fail or the soup overflows, it will catch it.

Don’t. Looks more like a display bowl.

I wouldn’t do it if I had a better option

The way the light is hitting the flowers is making me think they might be hand painted on, so I wouldn’t.

You can just toast the cheese on the bread and out that on top of the soup.

No, if u could, it would at the very least say so on the bottom and even then it might break. But u could use a torch aiming the fire carefully in the middle, not touching the sides of the bowl.
