Hey DBM,
A gift in 1943 could easily have been an old vase at the time. A picture would help.
If it was new in 1943, then it would not be considered antique.
"An antique (Latin: antiquus; old) is a collectible item which is old (usually at least 100 years old) and is collected or desirable because of its age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features. It is an object which has reached an age which makes it a witness of a previous era in human society."
