Not antique, since it was definitely less than 100 year old. Not sure if it was made of jade, possible made of serpentine which can be confirmed with a scratch test (will see a white line). Even if it can pass the scratch test, it could still not be made of nephrite, but bowenite which could not be scratched. Possibly dyed.
