Where is it manufactured?

The vitro blooming ceramic casserole dish along with its glass lid are manufactured in France. The box says manufactured in France. Same for its wonderful glass steamer--manufactured in France. They are all easy to clean. Keep range temperature no higher than 4, no need to go any higher. And keep watch on the food as it cooks or steams. The cookware should last for years.

Are they 100% ceramic without non-stick coatings? do they past any quality control sgs mean none content cd, hg, pb, cr, pbbbs, pddes?

The pot is a single layer of glass-ceramic material without any coatings or glaze. I cannot comment regarding the manufacturers internal quality controls. From my perspective the best options for "clean" cooking are these Luminarc vitro-ceramic pots, CorningWare Pyroceram (reportedly made in the same French factory as Luminarc), and the German-made Silit Silargan glass-on-steel construction for greater capacity and compatibility with induction stovetops.

what is the difference between this ceramic series and the amber glass series?

You know....I am not a HIGH TECH person to ask, really. But I would love to share with you what I think about them-- Ceramic series as you see on the picture is not see through inside the pot when cooking on stove top, but it seems more thicker to slow cooker--even heat compatible with glass series, non stick but brown meat that I love to brown meat and spicy foods--do well when cook with water, doesn't need a lot of oil since it is non-stick-The down side both ceramic and glass series cooking with spices is not well absorb food as stainless steel cooking pot for authentic cooking--such as fry chicken in pot with hot oil- I use my le creuset cast iron pot handle oil cooking--cast iron may leach iron and stainless steel may leach metal to food though--and because it is ceramic I like to think it made of clay (I may be wrong about this, I don't know) instead of glass as I own so many of them both ceramic and amber glass for reasons--They can cook from stove to oven to table and DURABLE-not easy to scratch or chip and NOT fragile as glass, but will break if drop on floor (I have not break it yet) I handle with care-non porous odour free, stain free--good feeling CLEAN! I use hammer baking soda to clean all my pots--shine. I still use my good grade stainless steel pot and pan though, only occasionally- but most of the time every day I cook with ceramic and glass from stove top to refridge to table worry free from leaching to my food and convenience in so many ways- I love the white ceramic look series very much- it looks good with glass steamer as well in 2 liter- very handsome set--Though, there is no perfect solutions to daily life we live since so much toxic around us and in our foods we eat as well- I came to use this ceramic and glass series between stainless steel and cast iron as needed since our body made of mineral, water and contain electric in our body- I am kind of "shy" about stainless steel leach metal to food I eat instead of ceramic "clay" to keep me grounded from electric in my body-to keep me in balance, health consciousness--But I just love them both ceramic and glass series worry free from leach and its convenience and good looking as well! I hope my answer help what you are looking for decision making in this major purchase.
