If you mean stone pans If they aren't coated they are ok. I use a small stone pan for bird bread.

Stoneware is a type of clay - I don't think it's suitable for stovetops.

It might be what is called "stone coated" or something similar. It's a coating, like enamel. Most of the ones I found were a nonstick "blend" and contained PFTE (Teflon).

Here's a popular one, and if you check the questions and reviews, people raise concerns about it containing Teflon, as the manufacturer only mentions it being PFOA free.

I have found a few that were PFOA and PTFE free however the link you posted is an amazon link and there is no way I will even look at a product on that site. I absolutely hate amazon.

I have never understood why people season pans even my cast irons have never been seasoned I use them the same as I would any other pan and wash it after every use.

Seasoning helps create a non-stick surface on some kinds of cookware like cast iron. I wash my pans after every use, but if it's been a long time since I used them last they sometimes need a rub with a bit of oil before I use them again if I'm cooking something prone to sticking. If you use the pan regularly chances are it's getting seasoned every time you use it.
