I have searched and cannot find info on outcomes of crossing Coronation Sussex rooster to Speckled sussex hen. I wouldn't expect much from the F1 generation, but am wondering about porcelain at F2 and beyond?

You could eventually get a porcelain color. It would basically be a speckled sussex with lavender. Keep in mind that both mottling (white spots of the speckled sussex) and lavender are recessive genes. You would also have to get rid of the silver of the coronation sussex.

The first generation cross would give you chickens that look like imperfectly patterned light sussex. They would carry mottling and lavender but not show it. The roosters of the cross would be gold/silver splits, but the hens would be pure for silver.

You would need to hatch A LOT of F2s and then you could get there with F3s.
