Here is some more info about the upcoming changes to the Glowing Stein:

MORE ON THE GLOWING STEIN
More details for you on the stein. The new Stein of Moggok as well as being
a 7/43 1 Hand Blunt Weapon does still retain the Glowing Stein bonuses of
+10 Int +5 Dex +10 HP and +20 sv Disease.
GM's have confirmed the Quest difficulty is also being increased when the
new item is implemented. One great side effect of this is that you can now
wield the stein in a primary melee slot (since its primary only) and be safe
from the charm-morph bug.
This is actually an improvement of the item. Those lucky enough to have both
a Glowing Black Sphere and a Stein have hit the jackpot now. Complete safety
near charming monsters and 19 int. Combining with the Crude Stein is also
popular with Enchanters.
I would advise getting a stein before the patch if you want one though
because Verant's definition of "harder" can be an understatement (eg: Plane
of Fear)
