These ceramic plates are easily shocked if cooled or heated too quickly. They are pretty pricey so we only ordered a few of them for now. You can use the broken pieces as suggested by others but if you want to replace your ceramic plate insert, this is it.
The ceramic plate is a hard, non-porous, non-stick plate for firing small flat plique-a-jour or counter enameled pieces. Because it is non-porous it is easy to wet pack enamel directly on the plate without having the moisture wicked away. It leaves a nice smooth surface on the fired enamel. Use the alumina tray under it to prevent heat shocking the ceramic plate. Warm the plate + tray on top of the kiln or under heat lamps before and after firing. Note: you will probably need to fire longer than usual.
This is a product that Coral used to sell at Enamelwork Supply and we were finally able to locate them in Japan. Karen Cohen uses this to pre fire her millefiori.
