Flatware has crest and motto in Latin ("quod tibi non alteri").... how can I find the associated family name??

According to Euraldic.com the motto is that of the Salomon family.

I have some myself (sterling silver flatware, that is) - Mine doesn't have a motto however, I would suggest that you make an inquiry at this website here as a first step: http://college-of-arms.gov.uk/Newsletter/009.htm
The Office and College of arms is the official record keeper of such records in England - if anybody knows, they would.
