Claim:
1. A ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic body including first and second principal surfaces extending in a length direction and a width direction, first and second side surfaces extending in the length direction and a thickness direction, and first and second end surfaces extending in the width direction and the thickness direction; an inner electrode disposed inside the ceramic body and including an exposed portion at the first end surface; a glass coating layer disposed so as to extend from the exposed portion of the inner electrode at the first end surface to the first principal surface; and an outer electrode including a plating film disposed directly above the glass coating layer; wherein the glass coating layer includes a glass medium and metal powder particles that are dispersed in the glass medium and define conductive paths which electrically connect the inner electrode and the outer electrode; a dimension of a portion of the glass coating layer located on the first principal surface and extending in the length direction; is larger than a dimension of a portion of the glass coating layer located on the first end surface and extending in the thickness direction from the first principal surface to the second principal surface of the ceramic body; and the metal powder particles include metal powder particles having an elongated or substantially elongated shape.
