Perhaps the word you are looking for is startle. It hints at physical movement, but not explicitly.

startle

verb: cause (a person or animal) to feel sudden shock or alarm.

"a sudden sound in the doorway startled her"

startled

adjective: feeling or showing sudden shock or alarm.

verb: startle; 3rd person present: startles; past tense: startled; past participle: startled; gerund or present participle: startling

She turned away and was startled by the sight of the filled porcelain.

I would not write "She turned away and was startled by the sight of the filled porcelain." It sounds out of order. I would say "She was startled by the sight of the filled porcelain and turned away." Edit: Disregard my suggestion about order. It's irrelevant without context. My mistake.
