Seriously, if this thing explodes like they keep saying it will, you guys need to cancel Mexico and just mail order some pottery. A plate is not worth dying for.
At Puerto Vallarta, I got this great big HEAVY pottery mayan calendar. Brought it home and hung it over the sofa. That blasted thing creeped us out! Big scary monster with it's tongue sticking out in the middle. But it is the right color and stuff, so it's still hanging there. Just don't make eye contact with it!
