Nephrite Bowl With Ancient Script - Archaic or not?

The script is the same character, 福 fu "good fortune/happiness", written repeatedly in a variety of ways. Though some of the character variants are likely quite archaic, this does not seem to be an antique cup to me; also I strongly suspect that the material is not nephrite but a less valuable stone. Not sure that it's a fake though, maybe just a decorative cup.
