It has to be a Gecko, though I don't know why there is no mark. That fish head is his design, the glaze is very contemporary, and that detail is just killer. All that adds up to a Gecko. Nobody else does a glaze like that and multiple glazes and the variation, etc. If you look at the other fish head footed bowls on Ooma-Gooma, you'll see they are all different and since the bottom of this bowl is very visible, I'd say no mark was left to keep it clean.

I may be wrong, but I believe Gecko reproduced his mug design from a vintage one he had in his own collection. I remember him posting pictures of his older version before he created the "Mount Bumatay". Sven had told him there was a smaller size of this vintage bowl as well, so I think he might have the most knowledge about it. The blue glaze looks vintage to me, but I'm no expert.
