If it is too hot, then the ice-piece will be non-existence and be just part-parcel of the water. The piece-of-ice's size will change in accordance with everything that are surrounding it and the jar of water. Note this analogy This is like a piece-of-ice in a jar of water where the seemingly "individualized" ice-piece is independent of the water, but in reality the existence of the ice-piece is part & parcel and interdependent with the water.
