The inverted dot is very similar to some of the pieces made by Hobbs Brockunier in the 19th Century -- 1880s and 90s, I believe. I've seen different names for the pattern -- polka dot, inverted thumbprint, and others. Fenton did some later polka dot pieces, but the dots I've seen were not so close.

Looking at my collection of Victorian glass I have to disagree with the pontil issue

Really?  That's intriguing.  Are there particular Bohemian makers that left the pontils, do you know?  Grrr, one more generalization blown to smithereens! ::)
