Please see British porcelain saucers by Steven Goss 2nd edition for a Saucer in this pattern.

Made for George Capel-Coningsby, The 5th Earl of Essex. He was Viscount Malden and a member of parliament. He married in June 1786 and likely ordered a full service decorated in this way for his property in London.
