I would like to know if this vase with dragon motif is Asian or it it was made in Europe

Your dragon vase of 'phoenix tail' form is in a palette and type of decoration that indicates it was made in Vietnam in the late 20th century or subsequently.

Best regards,

Thank you for your answer. But what is a "phoenix tail" Also, I bought this around 1970 in Europe

The vase is named 'phoenix tail' or 'yen-yen' vase after its graceful flowing form, I believe.

See the link for a handy guide to Chinese vase forms.
