Non-Resetting containers
Concerning the Arch-Mage's Quarters:

Note: This does not suggest that the containers in the Arch-Mage's Quarters do not respawn, but merely explains that when it was tested under these parameters that they did not. Use caution when storing items anywhere outside your purchased home or confirmed non-resetting containers.
 * Here is the test that was performed: (Xbox 360)
 * All objects that were not bolted down were taken (not stolen) from the quarters including all garden ingredients.
 * All containers were also looted.
 * One item was placed in each of the containers in the room and one item was placed in each display case and the lid closed.
 * Left College of Winterhold.
 * Waited 12 days.
 * Upon return, no items had respawned. No items were missing from containers with the exception of one item from one of the display cases had been somehow removed from the container and was on the floor. One torchbug and two luna moths had appeared. Garden had not reset.
 * The garden does reset eventually on the PS3, as does the stuff on the shelves. Potions, etc.
