You lose the ability to be creative with depth becuase everything is layed out geometrcially in cubes, but your stuff would be safe and visable.

I asked my wife. Quick as a flash she replied:
Get some of the perspex cases they use in expensive shoes shops, they come in a variety of sizes and should be fairly cheap. They are wall mountable, have discretely hinged lids, hold the item in place with little perspex panels, can be set at an angle and are made to be used in creating pretty wall mounted display which are easily accessible, if his teapots are as silly and tiny and yours you can even get kid sized ones but normal sized ones would probably look better even with small pots.
She then returned to painting.
I'm not sure I can even picture what she was talking about but thought it may have been of use to reproduce the answer.

Another thought of mine which I was too lazy to mention yesterday but which has been growing on me a bit is to find some very nice looking small trays.
Slate, Granite, Teak, Mahogany or whatever you can find.
If you have a quake that is 8 on the Richter scale it pretty much won't matter what you do!
But for smaller bumps, you just need to make sure the pot does not fall too far.
The tray must be shallow enough for good viewing but deep enough for a layer of soft landing material and therefore broad enough for the size of your pot to fall any direction and land in the material. Secure the tray if you can to the shelf, fill the base with a decorative material like sand - maybe even the sand they add to zi sha if you can - place Teapot Cushion in centre and pot on top. Maybe even rake the sand in little patterned ridges so that if pot falls off stand it immediately stops rolling.
Several little trays per shelf
