Any idea on what this mark on a bronce censer means?

Please see attached picture...would like to know the meaning of this mark or the age of the item.

[Kamille]

大日本

文政年

整珉鑄

 

It's Japanese and was produced somewhere between 1818 and 1829. There's a bunch of bronzes with these inscriptions on google, if you want to have a look (you just have to copy/paste the characters in google).

Cool - thanks a lot :-)
