Richard Nixon's Yixing teapot?

Wasn't sure if it deserved its own thread, but I was reading Tea with Presidential Families by Beulah Munshower Sommer and Pearl Dexter, and they mention that Nixon received a Yixing teapot as a gift while visiting China. They also included a photo, making it more likely than the Nixon Da Hong Pao story, but I can't seem to find any more info.
Does anyone know more about this?

Don’t think they made factory fakes at that time yet

Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder whether, maybe, just maybe, it's out there somewhere on Ebay right now, marked as "dusty old terracotta teapot, comes with tin of free tea" ? ...
