I don’t think that style of stopper is necessarily wrong (or modern). For example, on page 190 of McConnell’s The Decanter there is an image from a catalogue of English cut decanters from 1824 and one of them has that type of faceted ball stopper. The other twelve decanters from the page have more fancy mushroom stoppers. There are lots of other examples in the book.

In Mike’s eBay example it looks like it is just the silver collar holding the badly damaged glass neck together!

I couldn't see what was going on inside that neck at all. 
I'm more concerned about the difference in the colours of the glass between the stoppers and bodies than the style, although your pointing out that this is not exclusively a modern thing is a very valid point, thank-you.
I don't have Andy's book, I only skirt around the edges of decanters and cut stuff.

Just a wild idea about the colour, could this item have been used as an ink well?
