When Dallas ladies get engaged, they make two immediate trips—one to show Mom the ring and the next to register at Polly DuPont. In business since 1946, the store carries more than 400 formal and casual china patterns, including lines such as Herend, Spode, Baccarat, Juliska, just to name a few. They also have a nice selection of stemware and flatware as well as a variety of lovely gift items.
