Hello robert - good to see you are still buying glass ;) I cud be wrong, but don't think you will find that people here will refer to these dispensers as 'vinaigrettes' - and the type of glass container you are referring to is probably more correctly referred to as a 'cruet' i.e. a container for liquid condiments (as opposed to salt and pepper). A 'vinaigrette is more usually a small metal container with a perforated top, used to contain an aromatic substance such as vinegar or smelling salts. Regrettably, unless your piece is marked to indicate some particular maker, you may well be onto a hiding to nothing in terms of attribution.........these pieces were made in their millions by many manufacturers - but fingers crossed, you never know :)
