The present invention relates to a method for producing a ceramic component. With the method, a ceramic base material in powdered form and a mold having the shape of the ceramic component are provided. The ceramic base material is introduced into the mold. The ceramic component is presintered at a temperature between 880 DEG C and 980 DEG C and is then removed from the mold. The surface of the ceramic component is treated with a blasting material and the ceramic component is sintered at a temperature that is higher than the presintering temperature. With the method according to the invention,ceramic components having higher surface roughness can be produced. Due to the higher surface roughness, it is easier to apply a firmly adhering coating to the ceramic component.
