“Electric Ember” is a contemporary ceramic work that explores the integration of traditional Shiwan cookware with modern electric heating technology, continuing my doctoral research on the modernization of craft objects within today’s design and lifestyle context. Drawing inspiration from the sculptural elegance of Ming dynasty literati teapots, the kettle adopts a square-shaped form and is hand-built from locally sourced Foshan clay. It is fired in a reduction atmosphere, resulting in an iron-rich, mottled surface that enhances its visual and tactile depth. At its base, a lotus bowl structure discreetly houses an electric heating element, seamlessly merging aesthetic sophistication with functional innovation. Through its form and function, the piece reflects on the transformation of domestic rituals—from the shared warmth of open-flame cooking to the more solitary practices enabled by electric heating—inviting contemplation on the changing roles of objects in everyday life. Ultimately, *Electric Ember* serves as both a material and conceptual bridge between tradition and contemporary living.
