The invention relates to a method for producing a blank from a ceramic material, in particular a blank to be used for the production of a dental restoration, wherein at least two layers of ceramic materials of different compositions are filled in pourable condition layer-by-layer into a die and thereafter they are pressed and then sintered, wherein after filling of the first layer, a further layer of a ceramic material in pourable condition, which differs from the first layer, is filled into the die, in that the material of the first layer is mixed with the material of the further layer to form an intermediate layer, and then the second layer is filled into the die.
