We establish basic geometric and topological properties of Thurston's Master Teapot and the Thurston set for superattracting unimodal continuous self-maps of intervals. In particular, the Master Teapot is connected, contains the unit cylinder, and its intersection with a set D×{c} grows monotonically with c. We show that the Thurston set described above is not equal to the Thurston set for postcritically finite tent maps, and we provide an arithmetic explanation for why certain gaps appear in plots of finite approximations of the Thurston set.
